WORLD NEWS: EU CHIEF CONGRATULATES NEW FRENCH PM BAYROU
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen Friday congratulated Francois Bayrou on his appointment as French prime minister, after the country’s deeply divided parliament ousted his predecessor in a budget standoff.
“You have always had Europe at heart,” the commission chief told the new centrist premier in a French-language post on X. “Let us work together for a stronger and more competitive Europe, with the means to defend itself.”
