Gabriel Attal has become France's youngest and first openly gay prime minister. President Emmanuel Macron picked the 34-year-old education minister to replace outgoing PM Élisabeth Borne on Tuesday. He now holds the record for France's youngest prime minister, surpassing Laurent Fabius, who was 37 when appointed in 1984. Macron hopes this change as part of a political reset will breathe new life into his presidency. Attal's new role will involve leading his government into crucial European Parliament elections this June.
