Paris, July 4 (BNA): French President Emmanuel Macron rearranged his cabinet on Monday after losing his parliamentary majority, the Associated Press reported.
The new government includes familiar faces from Macron’s center-right coalition, but none from the far-left and far-right parties that are now the main opposition forces in the French National Assembly.
His government plans to introduce a bill that addresses growing public concerns about the rising cost of living, but his opponents say Macron is not dealing with the day-to-day pain of inflation.
After France spent huge sums to help the economy weather pandemic lockdowns and mitigate rising energy prices, Macron warned on Monday that “progress can rarely be financed with unsupported debt or at least unsustainable debt.”
He said the government will focus on environmental challenges and “significant demographic shifts” and will work with local officials, businesses and citizens to “profoundly transform our collective action.”
