François Bayrou has assumed his role as France’s Prime Minister amidst unprecedented public dissatisfaction, with a recent poll indicating that 66% of French citizens are dissatisfied. Only 34% expressed satisfaction with the newly appointed centrist leader, who was appointed by President Emmanuel Macron after extensive discussions to succeed former Prime Minister Michel Barnier. Bayrou faces significant challenges ahead, including forming a government and passing a budget in the National Assembly amidst a backdrop of low approval ratings, the lowest recorded for a new Prime Minister since 1959.
