The day after his appointment as the new Prime Minister, François Bayrou is consulting to form his government. Last night, the resigning Minister of the Interior, Bruno Retailleau, was the first to be received, just a few hours after the transfer of power at Matignon. During the meeting, Bayrou compared what awaits him to "the Himalayas". With a National Assembly without a majority, and a France without a budget, "the troubles are beginning" for him. Today, it is Yaël Braun-Pivet, Gérard Larcher and Pierre Moscovici who are being received at Matignon. Soon, the party leaders should also be invited, an opportunity for them to define their red lines. But is the fall of Michel Barnier already creating the "financial storm" that the former Prime Minister had predicted? This is what some fear in view of the downgrade, last night, of the rating given to France by Moody's, dropping it from Aa2 to Aa3. In this context, the uncertainty of the bosses is going strong, with this fear of seeing investments plummet and a "Greek" scenario emerge. The public deficit could also widen. On this, the former Minister of Finance, Bruno Le Maire, defended himself this week before a commission of inquiry from being responsible for the deficit of more than 6%. Meanwhile, in the United States, the assassination of Brian Thompson, CEO of UnitedHealthCare, (private health insurance company) rekindles the debate on the private health system. A quarter of the American population in fact forgoes medical care because of its costs. The alleged murderer, Luigi Mangione, is seen by some as a hero. In France, the 2025 Social Security budget earned a motion of censure for Michel Barnier, with this opposite debate: can we still afford to cover so much for medical procedures? So, what will the Bayrou government look like? Is France entering a "financial storm"? Are we moving towards a less generous social security system?
