The French presidential palace has introduced a new center-right government following a period of political uncertainty after recent elections resulted in a hung parliament. Prime Minister Michel Barnier, a conservative figure, successfully formed the government after extensive negotiations, with President Emmanuel Macron's approval. The announcement of the new 38-member Cabinet took place at the presidential palace.
Despite a left-wing coalition winning the most seats in the June-July elections, they fell short of a majority. The newly formed government comprises primarily of ministers from Macron's centrist alliance and the conservative Republicans party.
