Macron Cuts Poland Trip Short to Announce New Prime Minister Amid Political Crisis
The French president faces mounting pressure to name a successor after his government collapsed in a no-confidence vote last week.
- Emmanuel Macron returned early from Poland, where he was discussing Ukraine support, to finalize the appointment of a new prime minister by the end of the day.
- The political crisis follows the collapse of Michel Barnier's government after a no-confidence vote over budget disputes in a fragmented parliament.
- Potential candidates for the role include centrist François Bayrou, former Socialist Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, and Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu, among others.
- Macron seeks to navigate complex political divisions, including resistance from both left-wing and far-right parties, to secure a stable government.
- The interim government has proposed a stopgap budget law to maintain essential state functions while the political deadlock continues.
