François Bayrou Becomes France’s New Prime Minister

By Our Correspondent

French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed François Bayrou as the new prime minister, following a no-confidence vote that ousted the previous government.

At 73, Bayrou brings decades of political experience to the role, having served as education minister from 1993 to 1997 and leading the Democratic Movement (MoDem) since its founding in 2007.

Bayrou’s political journey includes three presidential campaigns and a brief tenure as justice minister in 2017, which ended amidst an investigation into MoDem’s alleged misuse of European Parliament funds.

Recently cleared of any wrongdoing, Bayrou now steps into a pivotal role as Macron seeks to stabilize his administration amid a fractured National Assembly.

His appointment follows Michel Barnier’s resignation as prime minister after budget disagreements led to a historic parliamentary vote.

Bayrou is expected to spearhead efforts to rebuild a functioning government and forge alliances, particularly with the Socialists, to ensure future stability in confidence motions.
