According to French BFMTV on Tuesday, Gabriel Attal, the French 34-year-old education minister, has been chosen prime minister, making him the country's youngest leader of the government in history.

Macron, for his part, hailed the appointee on X, writing that he could rely on Attal's "energy and commitment to implement the rearmament and regeneration project."

Cher @GabrielAttal, je sais pouvoir compter sur votre énergie et votre engagement pour mettre en œuvre le projet de réarmement et de régénération que j’ai annoncé. Dans la fidélité à l’esprit de 2017 : dépassement et audace. Au service de la Nation et des Français.

— Emmanuel Macron (@EmmanuelMacron) January 9, 2024

In the meantime, former French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne will return to parliament, representing France's Calvados region, according to the broadcaster.

Attal is part of Macron's Renaissance Party. Before his most recent assignment, he held many government posts, including government spokesperson from 2020 to 2022 and minister of public action and accounting from May to July 2023.
