Francois Bayrou, leader of Democratic Movement, a French centrist organisation, has been appointed Prime Minister of France by President Macron.
It follows an unsuccessful attempt by Michel Barnier, a French conservative, to survive a no confidence vote. He was only appointed in September.
Michel Barnier was appointed Prime Minister of France yesterday. It marks a change in the balance of power at a volatile time. The French newspaper Le Monde called Barnier “a man of consensus”.
He’s also known as a conservative but it’s a hard task in a nation in a state of civil war with itself. The left are pressing hard at the doors of power and also want to make a difference.
