Arrr! The French captain Macron, in a twist o' fate, has hoisted François Bayrou aboard as prime minister! Aye, after a raucous parliamentary squabble sent the old crew packin', the seas be settlin' with this new matey at the helm. Avast, let the rum flow!
Ahoy, mateys! Gather round as I regale ye with the latest scuttlebutt from the land of France! The gallant President Macron be havin’ named a new prime minister, the trusty François Bayrou, after a hullabaloo in the parliamentary waters that saw the old crew tossed overboard!This old sea dog, Bayrou, aged 73, be a seasoned sailor in the political seas, known for weatherin’ the storms of French governance fer decades. Macron be hopin’ this wise ally will bring calm to the choppy waters, since no single party be holdin’ the helm o’ power in the National Assembly!
After the last captain, Michel Barnier, got booted from the ship due to a no-confidence mutiny over budget squabbles, Macron swore he’d stay anchored till 2027. But beware! With a crew made up of moderates from both the left and right, Bayrou must tread carefully to keep the government afloat, lest that scallywag Marine Le Pen seize the helm!
Bayrou, the founder of the Democratic Movement, has weathered his share of storms, even bein’ cleared of misdeeds this year. This ol’ salt be well-known from his days as education minister, and he’s tried his hand at the presidency thrice. Let’s see if this new captain can steer the ship true, or if the waters be too treacherous to navigate!
