Watch live: Youngest ever French prime minister Gabriel Attal takes over from Elisabeth Borne
Watch live as now-former French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne hands over the reins to her successor, Gabriel Attal, at the premier’s official residence, Hotel Matignon, following her resignation earlier this week (9 December).
Mr Attal, the current education minister, becomes France’s youngest-ever Prime Minister at 34-years-old – and the first to be openly gay.
French President Emmanual Macron announced the resignation of the Prime Minister on Monday, 8 January, as he prepares to unveil a cabinet reshuffle and breathe new life into his presidency.
“Ms Elisabeth Borne today submitted the resignation of the government to the president, who accepted it,” the presidency said in a statement on Monday.
