François Bayrou Appointed French Prime Minister Amid Government Turmoil

French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed François Bayrou as the new prime minister following a no-confidence vote that toppled the government. Bayrou, a centrist ally, faces the challenge of forming a stable government and addressing France's financial issues amid political divisions. The appointment comes as European allies urge France to stabilize, especially with global tensions rising due to U.S. policy shifts under President-elect Donald Trump. The new government must also draft a budget that satisfies diverse political factions to avoid further instability.
