Key figures in the new government include Jean-No\u00ebl Barrot as the new foreign minister and Antoine Armand as finance minister. Barrot, a centrist, is known for his work in digital and European affairs. Armand, a rising political figure, will face the challenge of managing France&#8217;s economy and budget, especially with growing debt concerns.<\/p>\n<p>However, Barnier\u2019s government faces opposition from the far-left and far-right.
