ALBAWABA - French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday named education minister Gabriel Attal as prime minister, becoming France's youngest and first openly gay head of the French government at the age of 34-year-old, AFP reported.
Macron late Monday accepted the resignation of Elisabeth Borne, 62, after serving less than two years in office, ahead of a widely expected cabinet reshuffle that seeks to breathe new life into the final three years of his mandate.
The appointment was announced in a presidential statement. "The president of the republic appointed Mr. Gabriel Attal prime minister and tasked him with forming a government," the statement reads.
