President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Michel Barnier as France’s new prime minister, following increasing pressure from political groups. Barnier, a conservative who previously served as the EU’s chief Brexit negotiator, will now face a no-confidence vote in the National Assembly. The current assembly is divided into left-wing, centrist, and far-right blocs, with Macron aiming to form a stable majority. The appointment comes two months after snap parliamentary elections and is seen as a strategic move by the president. This is an evolving story, and further updates will be provided as new information emerges.
