Macron relies on Bayrou: New cabinet should save France!

Mayotte, Frankreich - France is on the edge of a political earthquake! President Emmanuel Macron has launched a new government, under the pressure of the pressing financial crisis. Francois Bayrou, the fourth prime minister this year, took over the reins and wants to set the course for a stable 2025 with a powerful team.

After months of political standstill and the pressure of the financial markets to reduce the country's debt, Bayrou presented the names of its ministers on Monday. The announcement was made by Macron's head of the cabinet, Alexis Kohler, and the list is impressive!

a strong team for difficult times

66-year-old Eric Lombard, head of the caisse of the dépôts, will, as finance minister, lead the fortunes of French finances. At his side is Amelie de Montchalin as Minister of Budget. The conservative Bruno Retailleau remains interior minister, while Jean-Noel Barrot and Sebastien Lecornu keep their offices as Minister of Foreign and Defense.

a race against the time

Bayrou took almost ten days to put together this government and the clock ticks! He has to start working on the budget law for 2025 immediately after the previous government under Michel Barnier has failed due to resistance in parliament. The inclusion of two former prime minister in his cabinet shows Macron's desire for stability - a sign that this government should not suffer the same fate as Barnier!

The priority for the 73-year-old Bayrou is clear: survival! He must ensure that his government survives a vote of no confidence and at the same time passed a cost -saving budget for 2025. The political landscape of France is torn after the premature elections this year, and Bayrou is faced with a huge challenge.

The announcement of the new government fell on a day of grief for the victims of the cyclone in the Indian Ocean, in the poorest overseas region of France, Mayotte. A dark background for a fresh start that is urgently needed!

The question remains: will Bayrou manage to survive the political storms and get France on course? The coming months will be decisive!
