YouTube Description
as posted by the channelVeteran centrist figure, Francois Bayrou, became France’s fourth prime minister in a year on Friday after President Emmanuel #Macron named his longtime ally as the new head of government. #politics #france #europe #worldnews
The announcement came in a one-sentence statement from the Elysee Palace after Macron missed his own deadline for naming a new premier. The two met for nearly two hours earlier Friday.
#Bayrou, 73, replaces conservative heavyweight Michel Barnier, who was ousted last week after far-right leader Marine Le Pen joined the left in a censure motion over a budget dispute.
Bayrou could face the same fate as Barnier, as France’s legislature remains divided into three blocs — a left-wing alliance, centrists and conservatives, and the far right — that do not converge on policy or political lines.
