The French government, led by Prime Minister Michel Barnier, has appointed two new ministers following public criticism.

Charlotte Parmentier-Lecocq has been named Minister for Disabilities, addressing concerns over the lack of representation for the disabled community in the new cabinet.

Jean-Louis Thiériot has been appointed Minister for Veterans and Memory, a role previously unfilled, which had drawn criticism from various political groups.

These appointments come as part of an effort to strengthen the government's focus on inclusivity and historical remembrance.

The new ministers join the Barnier administration, which has been navigating challenges since its formation.
