Paris (AFP) – France is expected to finalise a new government by Sunday, with President Emmanuel Macron and Prime Minister Michel Barnier negotiating a cabinet reshuffle that marks a shift to the right. After months of political stalemate following snap legislative elections, key positions such as foreign, economy, and interior ministers are set to be filled, while left-wing protests are already planned in response to the government's direction.
France's new premier said he hoped to finalise a long-awaited government "before Sunday", as President Emmanuel Macron weighed a line-up that marks a shift to the right, with left-wingers due to protest on Saturday.
