Michel Barnier's recent appointment as France's Prime Minister has sparked significant political tension and uncertainty.

Despite being in office for only a few weeks, Barnier faces criticism from various political factions, including the Rassemblement National (RN) and members of President Emmanuel Macron's party.

The RN's vice-president, Sébastien Chenu, has expressed concerns over Barnier's potential cabinet choices, accusing him of favoring politicians from the Les Républicains (LR) party, which only garnered 5% in the presidential elections.

Meanwhile, Macron's allies are worried about the perceived dominance of LR in the proposed government, fearing it could marginalize their influence.

The lack of clarity regarding Barnier's policy direction further complicates the situation, leaving many questioning his leadership and the future of his government.

As Barnier navigates these challenges, the political landscape in France remains fraught with uncertainty and potential conflict.
