French politicians react to the nomination of the new government

In France, the country’s new PM François Bayrou has named a new cabinet.

However, the new cabinet is also heavily stacked with figures from the French centre-right, just as the last government was – raising yet again the spectre of a potential vote of no confidence from the political opposition.
