Mr Macron tasked him with steering the country out of its second major political crisis in the last six months.The priority for Mr Bayrou, a close Macron ally, will be passing a special law to roll over the 2024 budget, with a nastier battle over the 2025 legislation looming early next year.A parliamentary revolt over the 2025 bill led to the downfall of former Prime Minister Michel Barnier's government.
