Gabriel Attal is named as France's youngest-ever prime minister, as President Emmanuel Macron seeks a fresh start for the rest of his term amid growing political pressure from the far right. Attal, 34, rose to prominence as the government spokesman and education minister and had polled as the most popular minister in the outgoing government. He is France's first openly gay prime minister. His predecessor Elisabeth Borne resigned Monday following recent political turmoil over an immigration law that strengthens the government's ability to deport foreigners. Macron's office announced the appointment in a statement. He will work with Attal to name a new government in the coming days, though some key ministers are expected to continue in their posts. Macron’s critics from both left and right took aim at Attal for his limited experience, but President Emmanuel Macron congratulated Attal in his X post while referring to 2017. It was the year when Macron shook up French politics and shot to a surprise victory as France's youngest-ever president on a pro-business centrist platform aimed at reviving one of the world's biggest economies. Attal, a former member of the Socialist Party, joined Macron's newly created political movement in 2016 and never looked back since then. It is a proud and inspiring moment for not just the queer community of France but for the global LGBTQ+ community. DeSantis, did you hear the news? #Queer Up The World View
