French centrist Prime Minister Gabriel Attal and his government resigned on Tuesday, but will stay on in a caretaker capacity until a new cabinet is appointed following an inconclusive snap election. The caretaker government will run current affairs in the euro zone's second-largest economy, but cannot submit new laws to parliament or make any major changes, experts say. Its role will include making sure that the Olympics, that start on July 26, run smoothly. Their resignations, even if they stay on in a caretaker capacity, will allow Attal and other members of the government to sit in parliament and take part in the election of the assembly's president when it convenes on Thursday, experts say.
