Hey, amigos! 🇫🇷 France is hitting the pause button on announcing its new government. Why? To honor the victims of a devastating cyclone that struck the beautiful archipelago of Mayotte. 🌪️💔
The Élysée Palace announced that there won't be any new government news before Monday evening at 1700 GMT. Instead, the nation is coming together to observe a day of mourning for those affected in Mayotte.
President Emmanuel Macron will be paying his respects with a minute of silence at 1000 GMT. It's a moment for all to reflect and stand in solidarity with the people of Mayotte. 🙏
Meanwhile, the newly appointed Prime Minister, François Bayrou (he took on the role on December 13!), is working hard behind the scenes. He's aiming to finalize the new government lineup by Christmas. 🎄 Let's see what the holiday season brings for French politics!
Stay tuned for more updates, and let's keep our thoughts with those affected in Mayotte. ❤️
