New center-right government in France announced 2 months after divisive elections

Posted

PARIS (AP) — The French presidential palace unveiled a new center-right government Saturday more than two months after elections that produced a hung parliament and deepened political divisions.

Conservative French Prime Minister Michel Barnier put together the government after weeks of difficult negotiations, and President Emmanuel Macron approved it. The new government was announced at the presidential palace.
