French President Emmanuel Macron has accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's government after just 189 days in office, marking the second-shortest tenure for a French premier under the Fifth Republic.

Attal's government will remain in charge of 'current affairs' while a new administration is formed.

This political shake-up comes as tensions rise within the left-wing coalition known as the New Popular Front.

The French Socialist Party, Communist Party, and Greens proposed Laurence Tubiana as a potential Prime Minister, but La France Insoumise rejected the nomination, causing further strain in the alliance.

Meanwhile, the country faces economic challenges, as evidenced by the liquidation of iconic shopping cart manufacturer Caddie, resulting in 110 job losses.
