Macron Unveils New Center-Right Government Led by Barnier with 39 Members
Sep 21, 2024, 06:44 PM
French President Emmanuel Macron has unveiled a new center-right government led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier, marking a significant shift to the right. The new cabinet was formed after months of political deadlock following inconclusive snap elections that resulted in a hung parliament. Key appointments include Antoine Armand as finance minister and Bruno Retailleau as interior minister. The new government, announced on Saturday, has faced criticism from both the left and the far-right, with left-wing protesters taking to the streets to denounce what they see as a denial of the election results. Macron's decision to appoint Barnier, a former Brexit negotiator, aims to unite the country amid deep political divisions. The cabinet includes 39 members.
