French Government Faces Uncertain Future

Published: 2024-07-24

French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, the youngest in the history of the Fifth Republic, is facing a turbulent political landscape following the acceptance of his government's resignation by President Emmanuel Macron.

Attal's government, which has only been in power for six months, is now tasked with managing day-to-day affairs until a new executive is appointed.

This situation has led to the term "zombie government" being used to describe the current administration, as it operates without full authority.

Experts highlight the legal ambiguities surrounding a resigning government, which is expected to remain in place at least until after the upcoming Olympic Games.

Meanwhile, political ambitions are stirring among other leaders, as they seek to consolidate power in the wake of the government's dissolution.

The political future remains uncertain as Macron emphasizes the need for unity and responsibility within his party.
