Macron Appoints New French Government Amid Pressure On Prime Minister

  • French President Emmanuel Macron appointed a new government after pressure mounted on Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne.
  • Borne faced challenges passing reforms and expanding the ruling coalition despite expertise in securing majorities.
  • Top Macron adviser Aurélien Rousseau was named the new health minister in the reshuffle.
  • Even "Macron-compatible" members of the right-wing LR party were excluded from the new cabinet.
  • The reshuffle allows Macron to rely less on the right than his first term, though risks a fragile majority.
