French Prime Minister, Gabriel Attalhas announced that this Monday will resign after the legislative elections this Sunday, although he has shown himself willing to continue provisionally leading the Executive in the face of the parliamentary deadlock arising from the elections and the proximity of the Olympic Games, which are being held in Paris.

“Faithful to republican tradition, tomorrow morning I will present my resignation to the President of the Republic. [Emmanuel Macron]”Attal declared, after the defeat of the parties that supported his Government in the second round of French elections this Sunday from the courtyard of the Maison de Matignon, the official residence of the Prime Minister.

However, the head of the Executive has indicated that will continue to serve “as long as duty requires” and until a new government is established. His decision is due to the lack of an absolute or relative majority of Together for the Republic, the coalition of the Macronists, the second formation in the National Assembly after the elections, according to projections.

“I would like to congratulate the 577 elected deputies. I did not choose this dissolution, but I refused to submit. We decided to fight. I warned of the risk of an absolute majority for La France Insoumise or the National Rally and of the risk of our movement disappearing. These three risks were dismissed by the French. We owe it to this French spirit attached to its values,” he argued.

Thus, he stressed that Centrism is “alive and kicking” thanks to the “determination” of its representatives. “We have endured and we have three times as many deputies than the estimates suggested at the beginning of this campaign,” he stressed.

Projections place the New Popular Front as the formation with the most deputies, followed by Together for the Republic of Macron and the far right National Grouping Marine Le Pen’s party. The National Assembly has 577 seats, giving an absolute majority of 289.
