"Gay" – Who is the New French Prime Minister?

On Tuesday, RTL radio and BFMTV reported that "French President Emmanuel Macron has chosen his close ally Gabriel Attal as the new Prime Minister," making him the youngest head of government in France and the first openly gay individual in that role. A statement from the Élysée is expected later today. On Monday, Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne, 62, submitted her resignation before Macron. Attal is one of the most popular politicians in the country according to recent polls and has made a name for himself as a savvy minister and articulate speaker in radio programs and in parliament. Gabriel Attal, 34, becomes the youngest PM in modern French history as Macron seeks to revive his presidency.
