A new French government is named after the previous one collapsed in a budget fight
LA TimesAlexis Kohler, secretary-general of the Elysee Palace, announces the names of the ministers of the new French Cabinet on Monday. French President Emmanuel Macron’s office announced a new government Monday, after the previous Cabinet collapsed in a historic vote prompted by fighting over the country’s budget. Newly named Prime Minister Francois Bayrou put together the government that includes members of the outgoing conservative-dominated team and new figures from centrist or left-leaning backgrounds. The new government enters office after months of political deadlock and pressure from financial markets to reduce France’s colossal debt. Marine Le Pen’s far-right party helped bring down the previous government, and Bayrou’s Cabinet will seek to rely on moderate lawmakers from the right and the left to stay in power.
