in the national assembly elections, the far-right national rally won key seats and formed an alliance with other right-wing parties, which eventually led to a "split" in french politics. the french prime minister candidate does not need to be confirmed by a vote of the national assembly, and barnier finally received the president's approval, which marks a new stage in french politics.

however, this result means that the far-right party "national rally" won a major political victory and thus became the "kingmaker" in french politics.

the left-wing coalition "new popular front" expressed strong opposition to the new prime minister appointed by macron. the coalition believed that the election results were "stolen" and called on the french people to take action over the weekend to gain more support. the first secretary of the socialist party, faure, said that this marked the beginning of a political crisis in france, and that the new prime minister came from a party that only ranked fourth in the national assembly election.

the president of the far-right party, bardeira, said they would make judgments based on the policies, budgets and specific actions taken by barnier after he took office. however, the leader of the national rally, marine le pen, stressed that the new prime minister "respects" different political forces and said they would cooperate with the new government.

the current state of french politics has made many people uneasy. french centrist senator marseille pointed out that le pen's actions have a huge impact on french politics, and hinted that the fate of this new regime will depend on the decisions of the national rally.

barnier faces a huge challenge. he needs to form the "unity government" required by macron and make the necessary budget cuts to appease the left, while also silencing the far right and keeping the streets calm.

some see the post as a test of barnier’s ability and mettle. he survived the brexit negotiations and, as an alpine skier from the savoie region, he will need the same fortitude and agility not to fall over in the coming months.

the future of french politics is full of uncertainty, and the task facing barnier, like snowboarding on a snowboard, requires a high degree of skill and perseverance to succeed.
