François Bayrou, France's new Prime Minister, is navigating a rocky start just weeks into his tenure.

His government, formed shortly before Christmas, faces criticism over its composition and early decisions.

Bayrou has prioritized rebuilding Mayotte, devastated by Cyclone Chido, but delayed presenting an emergency law for the region to allow further consultation.

Meanwhile, his administration operates under a temporary budget, adding economic pressure.

The first full cabinet meeting on January 3 will test Bayrou's leadership as he seeks to implement his vision of detailed and concrete policies.

With political and economic challenges mounting, the coming weeks will be crucial for the new government.
