François Bayrou, recently appointed Prime Minister of France, faces significant challenges as he struggles to secure a reliable parliamentary majority. His predecessor, Michel Barnier, was ousted after a failed confidence vote, leaving Bayrou to assemble a cabinet that lacks widespread support. Political analysts warn that Bayrou’s government is under dual pressure from both far-right and leftist factions, complicating efforts to address pressing issues like the state budget and pension reform, which both sides want to roll back.
