French President Emmanuel Macron appointed Francois Bayrou as the new Prime Minister. The Elysee Palace announced this on Friday, December 13.

Bayrou, 73, is leader of the liberal Democratic Movement (MoDem) party, part of the pro-presidential political coalition Together.

Francois Bayrou is a veteran of French politics. In 1993-1997 he was the Minister of National Education of France. In 2017, he headed the Ministry of Justice. He was nominated as a candidate in the 2002, 2007 and 2012 presidential elections.

He will succeed Michel Barnier as prime minister after his minority government lasted a record 91 days.

Let’s remember that on December 4, the National Assembly supported the vote of no confidence in Prime Minister Barnier, initiated by the left-wing coalition New Popular Front and the far-right National Rally.

The next day it became known that Macron had accepted the resignation of Michel Barnier.
