President Emmanuel Macron’s new government sparked an immediate angry reaction from across the political spectrum, raising the risk of a swift collapse that would further cloud the outlook for France’s stretched public finances.

PARIS (Reuters) -French President Emmanuel Macron's chief of staff announced the formation of a new government on Saturday, hoping to put an end to 2-1/2 months of political uncertainty following an inconclusive snap election that delivered a hung parliament.

On Saturday evening in France, the composition of the new government was announced. It was formed two weeks after Michel Barnier was appointed Prime Minister and more than two months after the parliamentary elections.

The cabinet named by Prime Minister Michel Barnier marks a tilt to the right and will need to avoid being dissolved with a no-confidence vote

France's new government, finally appointed two-and-a-half months after elections, features a host of new faces all of whom share the same characteristic -- they are unlikely to stand in 2027 presidential elections.

The government still faces two challenges in the coming weeks: the risk of a no-confidence vote and a tight budget deadline.
