Media: New French cabinet may not last long due to its composition

The new French government may not last long because its ideological composition is similar to the previous cabinet, Report informs via Politico.

The publication states that, given France's "political paralysis" and the possibility of far-right and left forces uniting, the new cabinet appears as fragile as the previous one.

There are no guarantees that France's new leadership will last longer than the previous government, which faced a vote of no confidence less than three months after its appointment, the newspaper writes. The main problem with the new cabinet composition, according to the newspaper, is that it closely resembles the government of former Prime Minister Michel Barnier. Key positions are mainly filled by centrist and conservative politicians.

According to Politico's assessment, French Prime Minister François Bayrou failed his first major test, as he does not rely on a broader political base.

The political situation in France creates enormous problems for President Emmanuel Macron, who is becoming increasingly unpopular and leads a country that is beginning to appear ungovernable, notes the publication. This also worries the European Union, as the bloc's second-largest economy, which traditionally drove the bloc forward, is effectively stagnating, according to the newspaper.
