France's New Government Faces Immediate Criticism

France's new government, led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier, has ignited widespread criticism from various political factions, threatening its stability shortly after its formation. The cabinet reflects a significant shift to the right, comprising conservatives and centrists, and has been described by some as a 'disaster' with calls for a no-confidence vote already emerging. Opponents from the left, including the New Popular Front, and far-right leaders are uniting against the government, which they argue fails to represent the election results favoring leftist candidates. Barnier's government is seen as a product of political deadlock following snap elections, and its first meeting is set amid ongoing tensions. With rising budget deficits and economic challenges ahead, the new cabinet faces immediate scrutiny over its policy direction. This precarious situation raises questions about the longevity and effectiveness of Barnier's administration.
