France: François Bayrou appointed Prime Minister
François Bayrou is the new French Prime Minister. He was appointed on Friday by President Emmanuel Macron after several days of waiting and consultations with political parties.
The president of Modem (Center) replaces Michel Barnier, whose government was censored by Parliament on December 4.
Macron’s unwavering ally since 2017, Bayrou had to put his weight on the table to be appointed to Matignon, according to French media. While President Macron wanted to appoint Sébastien Lecornu, he convinced him to give up this option, and to appoint him as prime minister.
Everything happened Friday morning at the Élysée. Macron receives Bayrou and announces the appointment of Lecornu. But President Modem lost his temper. “ He threatens to leave the majority, to blow up everything and he would have scared Emmanuel Macron “, explained journalist Nathalie Saint-Cricq from Franceinfo.
Bayrou’s appointment to Matignon comes in a context of strong tensions between Algeria and France.
Even if foreign policy is the responsibility of the President of the Republic, François Bayrou will have to manage, like his predecessor, the delicate question of the fight against illegal immigration, which is one of the main subjects of discord between Algeria and the France.
