France gets a new government after weeks of uncertainty

France

PARIS: French President Emmanuel Macron’s chief of staff announced the formation of a new government on Saturday, hoping to put an end to 2-1/2 months of political uncertainty following an inconclusive snap election that delivered a hung parliament.

Antoine Armand will be finance minister and Jean-Noel Barrot will be foreign minister in a government composed largely of centrist and conservative parties, Alexis Kohler said from the presidential Elysee Palace late on Saturday.
