Of the leftist candidates who won, only the new Justice Minister Didier Migot, a former socialist and chairman of the High Authority for Transparency in Public Life, will appear on the list.
The entire Barnier government consists of 20 women and 19 men.
Let’s remember that on September 5, Macron appointed Michel Barnier as Prime Minister and instructed him to form a new government.
Despite the protests caused by Barnier’s candidacy, 52% of French people said they were satisfied with the appointment.
