The composition of the new French government led by Prime Minister François Bayrou was revealed Monday evening by the Secretary General of the Elysée, Alexis Kohler.
Two former Prime Ministers, Elisabeth Borne and Manuel Valls, were appointed Ministers of State in the Bayrou government, respectively in charge of National Education and Overseas Territories.
Three months after leaving the Interior, Gérald Darmanin returns to the government, also with the rank of Minister of State, in charge of Justice.
Outgoing ministers from the Barnier government, including the Minister of Foreign Affairs Jean-Noël Barrot, and the Minister of the Armed Forces, Sébastien Lecornu, were reappointed to their respective positions in the new government, as was the Minister of Culture, Rachida Dati who also keeps his wallet.
A total of 34 ministers were appointed. The first Council of Ministers of this new government will take place on January 3.
The new Prime Minister François Bayrou was propelled to Matignon a week after the resignation of Michel Barnier’s government the day after the National Assembly voted on a motion of censure tabled against him by the parties of the left and supported by the extreme right.
This mechanism was set in motion following the standoff that began between the government and these parties over the social aspect of the 2025 budget, and which ended with the Prime Minister activating article 49.3 of the Constitution which allows it to override the parliamentary vote to adopt texts in the National Assembly.
