Macron names new French prime ministerWhat is important to understand is that 73yearold Franois Bayrou will succeed Michel Barnier in this position.As is known, the latter was dismissed by a minority government, thanks to the efforts of the far right and far left, for the first time since 1962.
Barnier was able to stay in office for a record short period of time only 3 months.
The President of the Republic has appointed Franois Bayrou as Prime Minister and instructed him to form a government, the official statement said.
According to journalists, Bayrou was a loyal ally of the current French leader 7 years ago.He has distanced himself over the past few years, but retains authority among members of Emmanuel Macrons team.In addition, it is noted that he is well received by most political parties in the National Assembly, including Le Pens National Rally party.According to journalists, Macron previously had several potential candidates for the position of prime minister, including current Defense Minister Sbastien Lecornu, leader of the Democratic Movement MoDem Franois Bayrou, and leftwing politician and former prime minister Bernard Cazeneuve.
Macron supported Zelensky during meeting with TrumpInsiders claim that the presidents of Ukraine and France were on the same wavelength during their meeting in Paris on December 7.Despite this, they didnt want it to look like they were trying to corner Trump.Zelensky and Macron tried to explain to the new US president that any lasting peace would require the US to remain really strong.
Two other interlocutors said Macron used the meeting to argue that Europeans have already done a lot to support Ukraine and that they are also ready to share the security burden more evenly with the United States.
