Emmanuel Macron Appoints François Bayrou as French Prime Minister to Restore Stability
French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed centrist leader François Bayrou as the new Prime Minister in an effort to end a period of political instability following the ousting of Michel Barnier. Amid concerns from the public about the political situation, Bayrou will face challenges in forming a government that maintains continuity and avoids further votings of no confidence. With Macron navigating a fragmented parliament, collaboration with centre-left parties may play a crucial role in Bayrou’s success.
