France's new prime minister Michel Barnier promises to respond to 'anger' of the people
President Emmanuel Macron named Michel Barnier as France’s new prime minister on Thursday, hoping the Brexit negotiator and veteran conservative can work with the country's bitterly divided legislature and end the political turmoil that has roiled Macron's presidency.
Outgoing French PM Michel Barnier's cabinet held its last meeting Wednesday, proposing a "special bill" to maintain government operations into 2025. The bill will be debated next week.

On December 4, 2024, French PM Michel Barnier was ousted in a no-confidence vote by 331 votes to 246. This marked the first time since 1962 that a French government collapsed due to such a motion. The vote followed Barnier's controversial budget, which sparked opposition from both the left-wing NPF and right-wing RN, creating a political crisis for President Macron as he faces uncertainty in appointing a new prime minister.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have reportedly discussed deploying European peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, according to the Telegraph. While Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky supports the idea, Starmer remains hesitant due to concerns over troop safety and possible escalation. Macron also proposed the idea to Poland, which declined involvement. The plan may align with reports of Donald Trump’s proposal for non-NATO European troops along the Russia-Ukraine demilitarized zone. No official confirmations have been made by the UK or France.
