François Bairu, appointed as the head of the French government on Friday, stated that he intends to form a new government in the coming days.
Bairu promised to carefully address all issues, emphasizing that he understands the challenges ahead of him.
We must overcome mountains of difficulties, whether it’s problems with state finances or helping farmers, but we must overcome them, he said.
According to sources in President Emmanuel Macron’s entourage, Bairu intends to present a list of 25 candidates for ministerial posts by the end of the week. On Monday, January 14, he will outline the main directions of his policy before Parliament.
The 73-year-old centrist Bairu replaced the Republican Michel Barnier as prime minister, whose government lasted only three months after a vote of no confidence, supported by both right-wing and left-wing parties.
