The French President accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and his government, the Elysee Palace said in a statement.
A transition period has been officially announced, during which the outgoing administration will play the role of interim government until a new executive body is appointed.
This transition period has never lasted more than nine days, but nothing is predictable now. These are unprecedented times for France. In 10 days, it will have to celebrate the Olympic Games without the government.
It is not clear what to do in case of complications. It is not clear whether France will be able to approve the budget by the end of the year. If not, then what money should be used to help Ukraine, Armenia and Africa? In short, the president will not be bored. Hopefully, he won’t send troops somewhere.
