In a significant political shift, French Prime Minister Gabriel Attal has announced plans to resign following the legislative elections where leftist coalitions have taken a surprising lead. The initial projections indicate that President Emmanuel Macron's centrist alliance has been relegated to second place, with the far-right in third. This development suggests a major reconfiguration of France's political landscape, potentially leading to a hung parliament. Attal's resignation, expected to be tendered on Monday, marks a pivotal moment in French politics as the nation grapples with the implications of the election outcomes.
