Emmanuel Macron’s Search for a New Prime Minister Following Michel Barnier’s Ouster
After the ousting of Prime Minister Michel Barnier through a motion of censure, President Emmanuel Macron is under pressure to select a successor. Names being considered include Sébastien Lecornu, Bruno Retailleau, François Bayrou, and Bernard Cazeneuve. Macron recently concluded a visit to Saudi Arabia and his inner circle hints at the necessity for a candidate who prioritizes France’s interests, much like Barnier did. Observers expect an announcement soon.
