As of Monday evening, the French government has not been announced. This delay is due to a day of mourning for the victims of a recent disaster, with the announcement scheduled for 1700 GMT. President Emmanuel Macron had promised to appoint a new prime minister following a vote of no-confidence in the previous government. He has vowed to stay in office until the end of his term in 2027. The new government is expected to be announced soon after the mourning period concludes.
