French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed 34-year-old Gabriel Attal as the country's youngest-ever prime minister, breaking barriers as the first openly gay man to hold the position. Attal, a rising star in Macron's Renaissance Party, served as education minister, implementing a ban on the abaya in public schools. His swift political ascent includes leading the public works ministry during the pandemic. Attal now faces the task of forming a new government and advancing Macron's agenda. The move follows Elisabeth Borne's resignation amid unpopular reforms. Attal's appointment aims to revive Macron's government ahead of European elections and the Paris Olympics.
