Macron names centrist leader Francois Bayrou as new French PM
President Emmanuel Macron on Friday named centrist leader Francois Bayrou as his new prime minister, the presidency said, handing him the task of hauling France out of months of political crisis.
Bayrou, head of the MoDem group that is allied to Macron's party, was appointed nine days after Michel Barnier's government was ousted by parliament in a historic no-confidence vote.
