French President Emmanuel Macron appointed François Bayrou as prime minister on Friday, December 13, over a week after lawmakers voted to oust conservative ex-prime minister Michel Barnier. A heavyweight politician, Bayrou heads the centrist MoDem party who has been allied to Macron since he swept to power in the 2017 election campaign.

“The President of the Republic has appointed Mr. François Bayrou as prime minister and tasked him with forming a government,” the French presidency said in a statement, giving no more details. Bayrou is the sixth prime minister under Macron.

        Nah he’s in way better shape than either of them. Yes he talks slowly but that’s how he’s been for 40 years. But still not left enough.
