A new centre-right government dominated by centrists and conservatives was announced by the French presidential palace on Saturday.
The announcement came more than two months following elections that produced a hung parliament and deepened political divisions within the country.
The 39-member Cabinet includes primarily ministers from Macron’s centrist alliance and the conservative Republicans. A left-wing coalition secured the most seats in the June-July parliamentary elections but failed to win a majority.
Student groups and activists from the hard-left France Unbowed party protested on Saturday against a government they say rejects the voters’ will.
