Now Attal must submit proposals to President Emmanuel Macron regarding the formation of a new cabinet.
Macron, in turn, welcomed the young appointee.
"Dear Gabriel Attal, I know I can count on your energy and your commitment to implement the rearmament and regeneration project that I announced. Faithful to the spirit of 2017: overcoming and courage. In the service of the nation and the French," the president wrote on X.
Meanwhile, the former French prime minister, Elisabeth Borne, will return to serving as a lawmaker, representing France's Calvados region in the parliament, the broadcaster added.
Attal is member of Macron's Renaissance party. Prior to this newest appointment, he served in various governmental positions, including as government spokesman from 2020-2022 and minister of public action and accounts from May 2022 to July 2023.
