Thousands of people protested across France against President Macron's appointment of Michel Barnier as prime minister. Barnier, a conservative and former EU Brexit negotiator, faces the challenge of driving reforms and reducing France's deficit. Left-wing parties accuse Macron of stealing the election and denying democracy. Barnier's government lacks a clear majority and faces the possibility of a no-confidence vote. The far-right National Rally could play a decisive role in the new government. This event took place on 09/07/2024 at the following location: Paris, France.
