Barnier's new government faced immediate challenges, with opposition planning a no-confidence motion amidst widespread street protests against the controversial rightward shift of the cabinet.
Marine Le Pen's National Rally emerged as the most successful party in July's snap elections, while the left-wing alliance New Popular Front secured a majority but not control.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon condemned the cabinet formation, labeling it as a government of election losers, emphasizing that citizens should have a chance to challenge it.
Leftwing protests erupted in response to the cabinet's announcement, showcasing public anger toward Barnier's administration and the broader political climate following Macron's election.
