French President Emmanuel Macron will announce his new prime minister on Friday in an effort to navigate ongoing political instability following the ousting of Michel Barnier. With 61% of voters expressing concern over the situation, Macron seeks to form a stable government without relying on Marine Le Pen’s National Rally. The selection is crucial as it marks Macron’s fourth prime ministerial appointment this year following a snap parliamentary election that resulted in a deadlock among political parties. Key candidates to replace Barnier include François Bayrou, Sébastien Lecornu, and Bernard Cazeneuve.
