French President Emmanuel Macron named Francois Bayrou as his fourth prime minister of the year, seeking to address the political crisis facing the second-largest EU economy. The new cabinet includes former Prime Ministers Elisabeth Borne and Manuel Valls, aiming to rebuild trust and deliver a budget plan for next year.
French President Emmanuel Macron named a new government Monday evening, putting together a team under Francois Bayrou , his fourth prime minister of the year, to drag the second-largest EU economy out of political crisis .
Both Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu and Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot kept their jobs, the presidency said. The difficult job of delivering a budget plan for next year falls to Eric Lombard, the 66-year-old head of public-sector lender Caisse des Depots , who was named economy minister. Bayrou had hoped to bring in figures from the left, right and centre to protect his government from possible censure, but his 35-member team does not include any representatives of the left-wing coalition New Popular Front, which has won the most seats in snap legislative elections this summer.“It’s not a government, it’s a provocation. The extreme right in power under the watchful eye of the extreme right,“ Socialist leader Olivier Faure said on X.
Just before the official announcement, heavyweight right-wing politician Xavier Bertrand announced he would not be part of the government. Le Pen warned that Bayrou’s government “will have to change its methods, listen to its opponents and build a budget that takes account of the choices expressed at the ballot box”.
