The new French government, led by Michel Barnier, appointed Prime Minister on September 5 by Emmanuel Macron, was announced this Saturday by the Secretary General of the Élysée. After several consultations over the last two weeks, last-minute adjustments with Renaissance, Horizons, the MoDem and Les Républicains to compose his team (and satisfy all the parties), Michel Barnier now has a 39-member governmentincluding 19 full ministers. Emmanuel Macron will bring together the full government this Monday at 3 p.m. for a Council of Ministers.
The 73-year-old Prime Minister of the Republicans was tasked with forming a team “to come together in the service of the country”in the words of the presidency, while The National Assembly is now divided into three blocs (NFP, central bloc and the RN and its allies). If Michel Barnier has not made any war spoils on the left, Emmanuel Macron’s party remains well represented, as does LR, some of whose new figures are making people grind their teeth. Discover the government of Michel Barnier, which gives pride of place to new faces.

The government has been appointed sixteen days after the arrival of Michel Barnier at Matignon. It took only four days to know the composition of the government ofElisabeth Bornein May 2022. At the beginning of the year, Gabriel Attal’s government was formed in two stages: an initial list of full-time ministers was unveiled after two days, then the appointment of deputy ministers and secretaries of state took place after a month.
The new ministers will now have to work hard on several thorny subjectsincluding the budget, the most urgent, but also the pension reform, unemployment insurance or even the end of life, whose work in Parliament was thrown in the trash after dissolution.
