  • Macron names a new government, putting together a team under Francois Bayrou, his fourth prime minister of the year.

The article from MSN discusses the recent formation of a new French government under Prime Minister Gabriel Attal, who at 34, is the youngest prime minister in modern French history.

The government's immediate task is to navigate these financial constraints while maintaining political stability and public support.
