French Prime Minister Michel Barnier is set to unveil his new government to President Emmanuel Macron, following a challenging period of political instability after the recent snap parliamentary elections that resulted in a hung parliament. Barnier, appointed by Macron two weeks ago, has formed a right-leaning cabinet primarily composed of members from his centre-right Republicans party. Key appointments are expected to include Bruno Retailleau as interior minister and Jean-Noel Barrot as foreign minister, while Barnier's government will prioritize enhancing public purchasing power, ensuring security, controlling immigration, and addressing public finance issues. The left-wing New Popular Front alliance has refused to participate in the government, complicating Barnier's task of securing a stable majority. With a looming budget deficit and potential unpopular fiscal measures, Barnier faces the challenge of maintaining support among various factions in the assembly. The new cabinet is anticipated to be formally announced before Sunday.
