France’s Macron set to name new prime minister on Friday

Al Jazeera  

French president’s office says a new PM will be named Friday morning following Michel Barnier’s resignation last week. French President Emmanuel Macron will name a new prime minister on Friday morning, his office said. “The statement naming the prime minister will be published tomorrow morning,” the Elysee presidential palace said on Thursday after Macron returned early from a trip to Poland. The new prime minister will replace Michel Barnier, who resigned last week after far-right and left-wing lawmakers voted to topple his government, plunging France into its second major political crisis in six months. Beyond Bayrou, prime ministerial contenders include former Socialist Prime Minister Bernard Cazeneuve, current Defence Minister Sebastien Lecornu, a Macron loyalist, and former Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.
