Michel Barnier, known for his calm and consensus-driven approach, now faces his toughest challenge as France’s prime minister amid the country’s largest political crisis in decades.
The left alliance criticizes Barnier’s appointment as undemocratic, proposing a no-confidence vote, while far-right voices compare him to a 'Jurassic Park-style fossil'.
Barnier’s age and political background were highlighted by opponents, as they argue he represents a disconnect with the voters who seek political change in the recent elections.
With pressing budget preparations and potential austerity measures looming, Barnier's appointment comes amid significant political rivalry and urgency following two months of indecision.
