François Bayrou, a prominent centrist politician, has been appointed as France's fourth prime minister in a year—a troubling milestone for the country.

 President Emmanuel Macron named Bayrou, one of his closest allies, to the post on Friday in an effort to stabilize France amid ongoing political turbulence and mounting economic challenges.

Bayrou faces the daunting task of forming a cabinet that can navigate a fragmented and contentious lower house of Parliament. His immediate priority is to finalize an emergency budget by mid-December to avert a shutdown of critical state services. While opposition parties have indicated they will not block such essential measures, the political climate remains volatile.

Bayrou's appointment follows the ousting of his predecessor, Michel Barnier, whose government was brought down by a no-confidence vote after just three months—the shortest tenure for any French government in modern history. This political instability has placed President Macron under intense scrutiny, as the nation grapples with soaring debt and a significant budget deficit, among the highest in Europe.

The urgency of the economic situation was underscored by Barnier before his departure, when he highlighted the staggering €60 billion spent annually on debt interest—equivalent to France’s defense budget. He warned of dire consequences if decisive action is not taken to address the country’s financial woes.
