PARIS – French President Emmanuel Macron is set to begin the process of appointing a new prime minister in the coming days after parliament withdrew its confidence from the current government.
The Élysée Palace confirmed that Macron will meet with Prime Minister François Bayrou to formally accept the government’s resignation. The move follows a vote in the National Assembly where a majority of lawmakers rejected a motion of confidence in the administration after the prime minister’s policy address.
The president’s office stated that Macron acknowledges the parliamentary decision and will proceed with the nomination of a new head of government promptly. The development marks a significant political shift as France prepares for leadership changes amid ongoing legislative deliberations.
