'Worrying & concerning': Left coalition largely ignored as Macron 'caters to interests' of far-right

After months of political uncertainty following a snap legislative election, France appeared on the cusp of a new government as Prime Minister Michel Barnier was set to present his cabinet to President Emmanuel Macron. Macron appointed Barnier, the European Union's former Brexit negotiator, as prime minister two weeks ago. Barnier has struggled to name a new government, underlining the complicated topography of France's political landscape after Macron's ill-fated decision to call a snap legislative election. For in-depth analysis and a deeper perspective on France's radioactive political landscape and Macron's tacit overtures to the far right, FRANCE 24 is joined by Anna McKeever, Political Scientist, Lecturer in Political Science at the University of the West of Scotland and author of 'Immigration Policy and Right-Wing Populism in Western Europe'. 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the latest International News and Top Stories: https://www.france24.com/en/ Like us on Facebook: https://f24.my/FBen Follow us on X (Twitter): https://f24.my/Xen Browse the news in pictures on Instagram: https://f24.my/IGen Discover our TikTok videos: https://f24.my/TKen Get the latest top stories on Telegram: https://f24.my/TGen
