Thousands Protest in France Over Macron's Choice of Prime Minister

ai generated text

Thousands of people in France protested against the appointment of Michel Barnier as prime minister, with left-wing parties accusing President Emmanuel Macron of stealing legislative elections. The protests, called by trade unions and left-wing parties, took place in multiple cities across France, including Paris, Nantes, Nice, Marseille, and Strasbourg. Barnier, a conservative and former EU Brexit negotiator, was named prime minister on Thursday, following a two-month search. He has stated that he is open to forming a government and naming ministers from various political backgrounds, including the left.
