The Attal government (French: gouvernement Attal) was the forty-fourth government of the French Fifth Republic, formed on 9 January 2024 and headed by Gabriel Attal as Prime Minister under the presidency of Emmanuel Macron.[1] It served as a caretaker government from July to September 2024, before Michel Barnier was appointed prime minister.
The Attal cabinet was a three-party minority government as a result of the 2022 legislative election that left the governing coalition short of an absolute majority in Parliament. Following the second round of the 2024 legislative election, Attal announced his intent to submit his resignation to Macron on 8 July.[2] However, the resignation was refused by Macron, who asked Attal to remain at least temporarily prime minister in order to help preserve stability.[3][4] Attal's resignation was accepted on 16 July 2024. Despite this, Attal would stay on as head of a caretaker government,[5][6] initiating the 2024 French political crisis.[7][8] On 5 September, the caretaker government was replaced by the Barnier government.
