French President Emmanuel Macron attends a meeting at the presidential palace in Warsaw, Poland, on Dec. 12, 2024. Macron cut short the visit to Poland to return to France to name a new prime minister.
French President Emmanuel Macron’s office said he cut short a visit to Poland Thursday to return home to name a new prime minister eight days after French lawmakers rejected Prime Minister Michel Barnier in a no-confidence vote.
Barnier, who had been prime minister for just three months, angered members of parliament on both the right and the left last week when he pushed through the 2025 budget without parliamentary approval, something Barnier said he did to maintain "stability" amid France\’s deep political divisions.
