French President Emmanuel Macron accepted the prime minister's resignation on Tuesday but kept him on as head of a caretaker government.
Macron's office said in a statement that Macron 바카라accepted바카라 the resignation of Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and other ministers on Tuesday.
Attal and other government members are 바카라to handle current affairs until a new government is being appointed바카라, the statement said.
There is no firm timeline for when Macron must name a new prime minister.
France is about to host the Paris Olympic Games at the end of the month.
Attal offered his resignation last week after a chaotic election result left the government in limbo. Macron asked him to remain temporarily as the head of the government pending a further decision, with France about to be under an international spotlight as it hosts the Paris Olympics.
French media said the prime minister's resignation is expected to be formally accepted by Macron by Tuesday evening.
The move would allow Attal to take up his seat as a lawmaker in the National Assembly, France's powerful lower house of government, and lead the group of Macron's centrist allies. It would also prevent him from being exposed to a potential no-confidence vote in parliament.
The opening session of the National Assembly is scheduled for Thursday.
The caretaker government led by Attal would focus only on handling day-to-day affairs. There is no firm timeline for when Macron, who held a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, must name a new prime minister.
France has been on the brink of government paralysis since elections for the National Assembly earlier this month resulted in a split among three major political groupings: the New Popular Front leftist coalition, Macron's centrist allies and the far-right National Rally of Marine Le Pen.
The New Popular Front won the most seats but fell well short of the outright majority needed to govern on its own.
The leftist coalition's three main parties, the hard-left France Unbowed, the Socialists and the Greens, have urged the president to turn to them to form the new government, yet their internal talks have turned into a harsh dispute over whom to choose as prime minister.
France Unbowed suspended the talks on Monday, accusing the Socialists of sabotaging candidacies they have put forward to replace Attal.
Socialist Party leader Olivier Faure said Tuesday the leftist coalition needs "to think, talk and resume discussions바카라 if it wants to meet 바카라the expectation of the public바카라 and fulfill its promise that it 바카라is ready to govern바카라.
Faure acknowledged that lengthy discussions, public bickering and occasional angry verbal exchanges among the coalition's party leaders are 바카라not a good look바카라. But 바카라the stakes are so high that it's not unusual for us to talk for a long time and that sometimes, we yell바카라, Faure said on France Inter radio.
National Rally vice president Sebastien Chenu said the quarrelling on the left is a sign that the New Popular Front 바카라is not ready to govern바카라.
He also lashed out at Macron on Tuesday, saying the retention of Attal at the helm of government following two recent elections 바카라 for the European Parliament and the National Assembly -- was 바카라a denial of democracy바카라.
Keeping him on to manage 바카라current affairs바카라 amounts to 바카라failing바카라 the French people, Chenu said in an interview with Europe 1 and CNews broadcasters.
바카라We cannot make something new out of something old,바카라 Chenu said. 바카라Attal must pack his bags, he and all his ministers.바카라
Politicians from the three main groups are also waging a battle over the presidency and key committees in the National Assembly, France's influential lower house of parliament.
Manuel Bompard, a lawmaker of the France Unbowed said he supported the idea of blocking lawmakers from Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally from holding leading positions in the parliament's committees, such as finance, defense and others.
Despite Le Pen's party finishing third in the elections, behind Macron's group of centrists and the leftist alliance, Bompard said in an interview with France 2 TV that there is 바카라no reason for us to help them access positions of responsibility바카라.
Le Pen, a leading figure in the French far right and a National Rally lawmaker, insisted that 바카라all political forces must participate in the functioning바카라 of the parliament.
바카라The people have spoken. There are 577 lawmakers who represent them,바카라 Le Pen said in a post on X. 바카라Even if I am the last one to defend democracy, I insist that the Macronists, the New Popular Front, the National Rally and Eric Ciotti (a National Rally ally) must be represented in the legislative body,바카라 she added.
