French President Emmanuel Macron will appoint a new Prime Minister in the coming days. This is likely to happen on Thursday, December 12, Le Figaro reports.
According to an AFP source, the announcement of the new French Prime Minister will most likely take place on Thursday evening, December 12.
It is noted that Macron will travel to Poland tomorrow, and the appointment will most likely take place when he returns at the end of the day.
Resignation of the French government
On December 4, the National Assembly passed a vote of no confidence in the government of Michel Barnier, who was then still serving as Prime Minister. This decision led to the resignation of all ministers.
It is worth noting that in France, the President has the power to appoint the head of government. At the same time, the National Assembly can pass a vote of no confidence in the government at any time.
Therefore, French leader Emmanuel Macron is looking for a new candidate for the post of Prime Minister that would satisfy the majority of parliamentarians.
Yesterday, December 10, Macron promised that he would appoint a new Prime Minister within 48 hours.
