Editorial: El País

• The new government in France led by Michel Barnier does not represent the 'national unity' promised by Macron, but deepens the country's political crisis.
• The executive is essentially conservative and has low political capital, including members of the LR party that had minimal representation in the elections.
• The appointments of Bruno Retailleau and Laurence Garnier, both from the conservative right, are seen as a tilt towards Marine Le Pen's RN.
• The government doesn't hold an absolute majority in the parliament, which puts it at risk of a motion of censure.
• Macron's leadership has shown a betrayal of the French vote and has effectively buried the republican front.
• The RN is already seen as the favorite in the upcoming presidential elections and these decisions only increase democratic disaffection.

Conclusion: Under Macron's government, France seems to be leaning toward the right, abandoning its promise of unity and deepening the political crisis.
