  • François Bayrou, Emmanuel Macron's centrist ally, has been appointed Prime Minister following the fall of Michel Barnier.
  • Bayrou faces several challenges, such as expanding the base of parliamentary support and passing the necessary country's budgets.
  • Bayrou, leader of the center-right party MoDem, faces the same challenge as his predecessor with a divided National Assembly.
  • Socialists have rejected being part of Bayrou's government, but they might agree not to vote against the Government in a new motion of censure.
  • Bayrou's main task is the approval of the budgets, to prevent a second downfall of the Executive.
  • Failure of Macron's government could bring France into another institutional void and further aggravate the country's economic and financial crisis.

Conclusion: Bayrou's political experience could be key to navigate the current crisis faced by France, although this will not be an easy task.
