  • Emmanuel Macron has appointed centrist François Bayrou as the new prime minister.
  • The decision is a partial correction of the error of assigning executive formation to conservative Michel Barnier.
  • Bayrou, known for his ability to dialogue, faces doubts about his effectiveness and stability due to the fragmentation of the National Assembly.
  • The financial difficulties facing the country, with a deficit exceeding 6% of GDP, could cause turbulence in the eurozone.
  • Bayrou must govern considering that the progressive block got the most votes,

Conclusion: It is vital that the forces of the progressive front and the traditional right collaborate to confront the political crisis in France.
