French Government on Brink of Collapse Amid Economic and Political Turmoil

The likely collapse of French Prime Minister François Bayrou's government could influence upcoming protests on September 10, which are driven by widespread dissatisfaction with government austerity measures. The protests, supported by various political factions including left-wing populists and conservatives, threaten to challenge President Macron's leadership, especially if large turnout occurs. Bayrou's potential resignation ahead of the protests might dampen the movement, but if protests proceed, Macron could face increased pressure to resign.

Macron Appoints Centrist Bayrou as French Prime Minister

French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed centrist François Bayrou as the new prime minister in an effort to stabilize the country's political landscape. Bayrou, leader of the MoDem party, is seen as a consensus candidate who can bridge divides between political factions. This appointment follows the ousting of Michel Barnier, who served only three months as prime minister. Macron's government has been in turmoil since snap parliamentary elections led to a political deadlock, and Bayrou's challenge will be to form a stable government without relying on far-right support.
