France has officially announced its new government lineup under the leadership of François Bayrou, following days of anticipation and speculation. The new composition sees the return of prominent political figures to the forefront, along with notable changes in key ministerial portfolios.
Among the most significant appointments in the new government, Elisabeth Borne, the former Prime Minister, has taken over the Ministry of National Education, while former Socialist minister François Rebsamen has been appointed Minister of Regional Planning and Decentralization. In a surprising move, Manuel Valls, the former Socialist Prime Minister, has been named Minister of Overseas Territories.
Some ministers have retained their positions, with Bruno Le Maire reconfirmed as Minister of the Interior, and Jean-Yves Le Drian remaining at the helm of the Foreign Affairs Ministry. The Ministry of Defense has been entrusted to Sébastien Lecornu. In a notable change, former Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin has taken on the role of Minister of Justice, while Roselyne Bachelot has kept her position as Minister of Culture.
This government formation comes ten days after the appointment of François Bayrou, 73, a centrist politician, as Prime Minister. He was tasked with forming the government on December 13, following a vote of no confidence in his predecessor Michel Barnier’s government.
It’s worth noting that Bayrou is the sixth Prime Minister under President Emmanuel Macron’s tenure since he took office in 2017, and the fourth in 2024 alone, indicating an unprecedented level of political instability in France in recent decades. This new government lineup comes at a crucial time as France seeks to address multiple domestic and international challenges, with hopes of achieving the desired political stability.
