François Bayrou has been appointed as France's new Prime Minister, but his leadership begins under scrutiny and political tension.

Bayrou, who led the High Commission for Planning since 2020, faced criticism for its limited impact on public policy.

His appointment comes amidst a fractured political landscape, with the Socialist Party and other left-wing groups refusing to support his government.

Bayrou’s coalition lacks a strong majority in the National Assembly, raising concerns about potential censure motions.

Additionally, his past legal troubles, including a recent acquittal in a parliamentary assistants case, continue to shadow his political career.

As Bayrou takes office, questions remain about his ability to navigate these challenges and stabilize France’s political climate.
