In a recent speech from the Palais de l’Elysée, French President Emmanuel Macron confirmed that he will appoint a new prime minister in the coming days, following the resignation of Michel Barnier.

This announcement marks a crucial moment for the French government, which is seeking to stabilize its administration and strengthen governance in a complex political context. Macron stressed the importance of the new prime minister forming a government of general interest that represents all political forces.

“I urge you to form a government that can participate in it or at least commit not to censor it,” said the president. This statement suggests an intention to seek a broad consensus and collaboration between different parties, which could facilitate the implementation of key policies.

The new premier’s priority will be budget management, a critical issue for the current administration.

 Macron announced that a special law to ensure the continuity of public services and life in the country will be presented to Parliament before mid-December, with a view to budget options for 2024 and 2025.

 “I fully hope that a majority can emerge to approve it in Parliament,” the president stressed, reaffirming his commitment to the functioning of public services and support for mayors.

To facilitate this process, Macron has scheduled meetings on December 6 with representatives of various political parties, including the Socialist Party and Les Républicains, with the aim of building consensus on the new prime minister’s candidacy.

Consultations will begin with parties on their side, including formations such as Renaissance and MoDem, before addressing opposition leaders.

This change in government leadership reflects not only the need to adapt to current political dynamics but also Macron’s desire to build a united front in the face of the challenges facing France.

As the new prime minister’s appointment approaches, the focus will be on how this leader can navigate a fragmented political landscape and work towards effective governance that benefits all French citizens.
