  • Macron names a new government, putting together a team under Francois Bayrou, his fourth prime minister of the year.

The article from MSN discusses the recent formation of a new French government under Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who at 34, is the youngest prime minister in modern French history. This reshuffle comes as France faces significant budgetary challenges, with the government needing to find €10 billion in savings to meet deficit reduction targets set by the European Union. The new cabinet includes notable figures like Rachida Dati as Culture Minister and Catherine Vautrin as Labor Minister, signaling President Emmanuel Macron's intent to refresh his administration ahead of the European Parliament elections. The reshuffle aims to address public discontent over issues like immigration, security, and economic pressures, while also preparing for potential political battles, including a looming no-confidence vote initiated by opposition parties. The government's immediate task is to navigate these financial constraints while maintaining political stability and public support.
