President Macron set to name new prime minister

French President Emmanuel Macron appears on screen as he makes a television address to the nation after Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government was toppled in a no confidence vote in parliament, in Paris, France, Dec 5, 2024. France's President Emmanuel Macron has announced plans to appoint a new prime minister within 48 hours, following the resignation of Michel Barnier's government last week. "If anyone ventures into a grand coalition with the right and Macron's allies, they risk fracturing the New Popular Front," Bompard said on Tuesday during a televised interview. "It's unrealistic to form a government with parties holding fundamentally opposing views," said Laurent Wauquiez of the LR party.
