France's New Prime Minister François Bayrou Faces Challenges in Resolving Parliamentary Crisis

 François Bayrou, a centrist leader, has been appointed as France's new Prime Minister. He is the fourth prime minister under President Emmanuel Macron, succeeding Michel Barnier in the position. The 73-year-old Bayrou, who is the president of the Democratic Movement (MoDem) party, is an experienced politician known for his ability to build consensus.

In the 1990s, as Minister of Education, Bayrou introduced a plan to increase subsidies for private schools, which sparked widespread protests across the country. He eventually abandoned the plan and continued serving as a minister for another four years.

Currently, in a divided and unstable environment in the French parliament, Bayrou faces a new challenge. His first task will be to reduce the budget deficit, though analysts predict limited progress on this front.

However, Bayrou is known for his peaceful political approach and his tendency to seek consensus, which he hopes will bring some solutions to the current political complexities in France.
