The first statement was made by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, after the publication of the first estimates for the results of the parliamentary elections, according to which the New People’s Front occupies the first place, gathering the most seats.

The French president is currently analyzing the latest election results and will wait for the full picture to emerge in parliament before taking the necessary next decisions, the French presidency said on Sunday.

“The president, as guarantor of our institutions, will respect the choice of the French,” the statement added.

Atal resigns

Prime Minister Gabriel Attal will submit his resignation to French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday morning. However, he added that he will carry out his duties for as long as it takes.

Atal said that calling early parliamentary elections was not his choice, but he expressed satisfaction that in the new National Assembly it is not possible to form any absolute majority from the extreme political forces. He also expressed his satisfaction with the fact that the faction close to President Macron resisted elected three times as many MPs by those who predicted some polls.

Attal also said that he understands that in light of today’s results, many French people feel some uncertainty about the future, given that there is no clear majority in the National Assembly and that the country is experiencing an unprecedented political situation just before the Olympics.

Finally, he confirmed that the French president will wait for the assembly of the National Assembly before taking the necessary decisions and concluded by saying that the future of France will now be at stake more than ever in the parliament hall.
