The Barnier government (French: gouvernement Barnier) is the forty-fifth and incumbent government of France. It was formed in September 2024 after President Emmanuel Macron appointed Michel Barnier as Prime Minister on 5 September, replacing caretaker Gabriel Attal. After the governing coalition lost its status as the largest parliamentary bloc in the July snap election, Attal tendered his resignation, but was asked to continue until his successor was chosen.
On 5 September, Barnier was invited by Emmanuel Macron to "form a unity government".[1]
