France is facing increasing political instability, with the average tenure of a prime minister now lasting only about three months. Michel Barnier, the shortest-serving prime minister in French history, humorously reflects on this trend during a chance meeting with fellow former prime minister Francois Fillon. Barnier attributes his short time in office to the chaos following President Macron's actions and the weakness of the political left. He also shares his views on broader issues affecting Europe, like the trade war with the U.S. and evolving relations with the U.K.
"It’s unusual for two prime ministers to meet by chance in a restaurant, where Barnier reflects on his short tenure and the chaotic political climate in France."},{
