WASHINGTON (January 10, 2023)—French President Emmanuel Macron selected the countries youngest-ever and first openly gay Prime Minister on Tuesday, Gabriel Attal. The selection of Attal, 34m was after his predecessor Elisabeth Borne resigned amid strengthening immigration laws.

Feigenbaum can explain the context of this decision, he is quoted saying “Since Macron doesn’t have a working majority in the Parliament, Attal’s lack of political experience is a serious problem.”
