After 2.5 months of uncertainty, a government led by former European Union (EU) Brexit Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier, appointed by French President Emmanuel Macron instead of the candidate from the left alliance who came first in the elections, has been formed.

A new government has been established in France after 2.5 months of uncertainty. The announcement was made by the Elysee Palace, following the elections that left the National Assembly in limbo and deepened political divisions within the country. The statement noted that Macron appointed former European Union (EU) Brexit Chief Negotiator Michel Barnier as Prime Minister instead of the candidate from the left alliance who came first in the elections. It was stated that in the 39-member cabinet, 33-year-old Antoine Armand would serve as the Minister of Finance, while Jean-Noel Barrot would be the Minister of Foreign Affairs. It was reported that France's Minister of Defense, Sebastien Lecornu, would continue in his role.

MACRON'S DECISION ON BARNIER

In the second round of elections held on July 7 in France, the New People's Front had nominated Lucie Castets as their candidate for Prime Minister. Macron indicated that it would not be possible for Castets to receive a vote of confidence in the National Assembly and rejected her appointment as Prime Minister. On September 5, Macron decided to appoint Michel Barnier from the center-right Republicans (LR) Party as Prime Minister. Following his election as Prime Minister, Michel Barnier stated that he was open to forming a government that included politicians from all backgrounds, including left-leaning politicians. Barnier's premiership led to protests in the country.
