French President Macron Names Michel Barnier as Prime Minister

As a seasoned crypto investor with a keen eye on global political and economic developments, I find the recent appointment of Michel Barnier as France’s Prime Minister intriguing. My journey in the world of digital assets has taught me that change is inevitable, and sometimes it brings unexpected opportunities.

In simpler terms, following France’s snap election in July where no single party gained control over the National Assembly, President Emmanuel Macron appointed Michel Barnier as the new Prime Minister, replacing Gabriel Attal, to lead the government

73-year-old Barnier, previously the EU’s Brexit negotiator, is a member of the right-wing Republican party. Attal, aged 35, who belongs to the centrist Renaissance party, stepped down shortly following the July 8 election, as the left-leaning New Popular Front, having secured the most parliamentary seats, formed a coalition

“Macron’s office informed Bloomberg on Thursday that this meeting follows a unique series of discussions aimed at making sure the upcoming prime minister and their government are as steady as feasible, in line with the president’s constitutional obligation.”

In the 27-member trading alliance, France ranks second in terms of economic size. Last year, the European Union enacted comprehensive legislation for cryptocurrencies known as MiCA. Starting from early August, France has begun accepting applications for licenses under this regulation
