Newly appointed Prime minister Gabriel Attal listens to the speech of outgoing Prime minister Elisabeth Borne (not seen in the picture) during the handover ceremony at the Hotel Matignon in Paris, on January 9, 2024. Attal was named France's youngest ever prime minister at the age of 34. His nomination will not necessarily lead to any major political shift, but signals a desire by Macron to move beyond last year's unpopular pension and immigration reforms, said media. Photo: AFP
