Emmanuel Macron has appointed François Bayrou as France's new Prime Minister to address political and economic instability. Bayrou, a centrist and founder of the Democratic Movement party, is considered a unifying figure capable of working with various parties in the National Assembly. The previous centre-right government led by Michel Barnier collapsed due to a vote of no confidence triggered by unpopular austerity measures. With the appointment of Bayrou, Macron aims to avert further political crisis and economic turmoil.

Bayrou faces significant challenges, including passing a new budget with tax increases and spending cuts. He must also address farmer protests against the EU-Mercosur trade agreement. Moody's downgraded France's credit rating, citing fiscal deficits and political fragmentation. To ensure stability, Macron has secured support from conservatives and parts of the left to minimize reliance on right-wing nationalists. Bayrou's task is to navigate these complexities and steer France towards recovery.
