French Prime Minister Michel Barnier has formed a new government dominated by conservatives and centrists, following a prolonged period of political uncertainty after recent elections that resulted in a hung parliament. The 39-member cabinet includes key appointments such as Bruno Retailleau as Minister of Interior, Jean-Noël Barrot as Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Antoine Armand, a 33-year-old, as Minister of Economy and Finance. Critics from left-wing parties have condemned the government for excluding them despite their electoral success, with some arguing it lacks legitimacy. Barnier, a former Brexit negotiator, faces significant challenges including a looming budget deficit and the need to pass politically sensitive reforms. The government will need to secure support from other parties to navigate its agenda in a fragmented National Assembly. Barnier's leadership is seen as a strategic move by President Macron to balance power amid rising challenges from both the left and right.
