Macron Names Centrist Bayrou as France’s New Prime Minister

 


  • The new premier will need to quickly pass a budget for 2025
  • The move comes after the previous premier was ousted last week

President Emmanuel Macron picked Francois Bayrou to be France’s new prime minister, calling on a longstanding centrist ally to navigate a fractured political landscape that toppled the previous administration.

Bayrou, who leads the centrist Democratic Movement party known as MoDem, steps into the breach after far-right leader Marine Le Pen allied with a left-wing coalition of lawmakers last week to oust Michel Barnier from office as he attempted to drive a stringent budget through parliament.
