Macron Appoints François Bayrou as Fourth PM in 2024 After No-Confidence Vote
Dec 13, 2024, 12:17 PM
French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed centrist veteran François Bayrou as France's new Prime Minister following the ousting of the previous government by a no-confidence vote last week. Bayrou, 73, leader of the Democratic Movement (MoDem) and a longstanding ally of Macron, becomes the fourth Prime Minister in 2024 amid France's second major political crisis in six months. The appointment aims to restore stability in the face of a hung parliament and ongoing political instability. Bayrou is tasked with revising fiscal plans to win parliamentary support and addressing economic challenges. He will focus on assembling a stable cabinet to navigate France out of months of political turmoil.
