On Friday, French President Emmanuel Macron appointed Francois Bayrou as his fourth prime minister for 2024, tasked with guiding the nation out of its second political crisis in as many months.<\/p>\n
Passing a special law to extend the 2024 budget will be Bayrou’s top goal. A more intense dispute over the 2025 legislation is expected to arise early next year. Bayrou is a staunch ally of Macron. A parliamentary backlash to the 2025 measure caused the administration of former Prime Minister Michel Barnier to fall.<\/p>\n
The 73-year-old Bayrou is anticipated to present his cabinet in the next few days, but he will probably encounter the same challenges as Barnier in guiding legislation through a 50-50 parliament with three opposing blocs.<\/p>\n
The far-right National Rally (RN) party’s president, Jordan Bardella, stated that the party will not be demanding an immediate no-confidence motion, while Marine Le Pen, another RN leader, suggested that Bayrou should pay attention to the opposition’s budgetary requests.<\/p>\n
On the left, opinions on Bayrou’s appointment were more divided. Fabien Roussel, the leader of the Communist Party, stated that his party would resist Bayrou as long as he did not force legislation.<\/p>\n
Leaders of the far-left France Unbowed party, however, stated that they would try to have Bayrou removed, and Marine Tondelier, the leader of the Greens, stated that she would back a resolution of no-confidence if Bayrou disregarded their worries about taxes and pensions.<\/p>\n
