No laws for now – the French government has officially resigned

Date:

French President Emmanuel Macron has now accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal’s government. He had previously rejected the request, citing “the stability of the country”. This means that the government can no longer initiate laws or other projects.

At the same time, it cannot be overthrown by a vote of no confidence. The current government will remain in office “until the appointment of a new government,” the presidential palace said Tuesday. The 17 ministers who won seats in parliamentary elections more than a week ago will vote on who will take which leadership position on Thursday. Prime Minister Gabriel Attal had already resigned after the defeat of Macron’s party.

There is no proposal for a new government yet
The French president has already called on his political camp to submit a proposal for a governing coalition or cooperation. He first appealed to the left-wing alliance that won the elections, but it is now on the verge of falling apart. The Left Party and the Socialists have fallen out over the search for a prime minister.

There is no deadline for finding a new person for the office. Parliament cannot be dissolved for another year. France could face a political deadlock in the coming months.
