The new prime minister of France Gabriel Attal, 34 years old, already known as the first gay prime minister in France, has chosen his cabinet.
Under the French system, the president determines general policy while the prime minister is responsible for choosing a cabinet and managing the government.
A new French government is officially announced by the Secretary General of the Élysée Palace. Alexis Kohler made the announcement from the Jardin d'Hiver (Winter Garden) of the presidential palace.
Some of the ministers were reconfirmed in their posts such as Darman, interior minister and Dupond-Moretti as justice minister, Bruno Le Maire kept his post as finance minister and Sébastien Lecornu remains as defense minister.
Stéphane Séjourné, who was once the prime minister's partner, was named France's new foreign minister, replacing Catherine Colonna. Macron chose Attal, a media-savvy 34-year-old loyalist, to breathe new life into his second term.
His appointment sent a signal that change was underway, with Macron trying to rebuild his government after a year of turmoil over controversial pension reform and an immigration law that critics said made too many concessions to the far right.
After his appointment on Tuesday, Attal promised to be bold in helping the middle class cope with the rising cost of living.
