Protests erupted across France in response to President Macron's appointment of Michel Barnier as prime minister, reflecting public discontent with alleged election manipulation.
Many demonstrators expressed their disillusionment with Macron, claiming that their votes had become meaningless and labeling his leadership as a threat to democracy.
In an early interview, Barnier acknowledged the challenges of governing without a majority and the urgency of pushing through necessary reforms amidst fiscal pressures.
Protesters voiced concerns that Macron's choice of Barnier could empower the far-right, fundamentally changing the balance of power within France's political landscape.
