French PM Barnier Unveils New Right-Leaning Government After Months of Deadlock
Sep 21, 2024, 06:13 PM
French Prime Minister Michel Barnier has unveiled a new government after months of political deadlock following inconclusive snap elections. The new cabinet, which marks a significant shift to the right, includes fresh faces in almost all key positions. President Emmanuel Macron approved the new line-up, which is dominated by conservatives and centrists. The appointments have been met with criticism from both the left and far-right. Notable appointments include Antoine Armand as the new finance minister and Bruno Retailleau as the interior minister. The new government aims to address the political impasse and stabilize the nation, although its long-term stability remains uncertain. This announcement comes 11 weeks after a hung parliament was produced in the elections.
