PARIS (AP) - Amid the serious political crisis facing France, President Emmanuel Macron appointed his centrist ally François Bayrou as prime minister on Friday after a historic vote of no confidence ousted the previous government last week. PUBLICIDAD Bayrou, 73, and a crucial partner in Macron's centrist alliance, has been a well-known figure in French politics for decades. His political experience is considered key in efforts to restore stability, as no party has a majority in the National Assembly. PUBLICIDAD Macron's office said in a statement that Bayrou "has been tasked with forming a new government." Why is France in this political crisis? The former Prime Minister Michel Barnier resigned last week after a vote of no confidence triggered by budget disputes in the National Assembly, leaving France without a functional government. The crisis caused several politicians to call for the president's resignation, but in a national address, Macron promised last week that he will remain in office until the end of his term in 2027. Macron's centrist alliance does not have a parliamentary majority, and the government led by Bayrou will depend on moderate legislators from both the left and right to stay in power. It is expected that some conservatives will be part of the new executive. Macron's strategy aims to prevent far-right leader Marine Le Pen from having the power to "decide" on the government. Le Pen collaborated in the removal of Barnier by joining forces with her party, National Rally, and the left to approve the motion of censure last week. Bayrou's appointment is also in line with Macron's efforts to build a non-aggression pact with the socialists, so that they commit not to vote against the government in any future motion of censure. Who is François Bayrou? Bayrou leads the Democratic Movement, known as MoDem, which he founded in 2007. In 2017, he supported Macron's first presidential candidacy and became an important partner in the French president's centrist alliance. At that time, he was appointed Minister of Justice, but quickly resigned from the position amid an investigation for alleged embezzlement of funds from the European Parliament by the MoDem. Bayrou was acquitted this year in the case by a Paris court, which found eight other party officials guilty and sentenced the party to pay a fine. The new French Prime Minister became known to the general public when he was Minister of Education between 1993 and 1997 in a conservative government. He ran for president three times, in 2002, 2007, and 2012.WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (AP) — said Saturday he had an “excellent conversation” with at his Mar-a-Lago club after the president-elect’s threat on two of America’s leading trade partners raised alarms in and . It was unclear, as Trudeau headed back to Canada from Florida, whether the conversation had alleviated Trump’s concerns. A person familiar with the details of the leaders’ hastily arranged meeting Friday night said it was a “positive wide-ranging dinner that lasted three hours.” The official, who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said topics included trade, border security, fentanyl, defense, Ukraine, NATO, China, the Mideast and pipelines, as well as the the Group of Seven meeting in Canada next year. The Republican president-elect has threatened to impose tariffs on products from Canada and Mexico if the countries don’t stop what he called the flow of drugs and migrants across their borders. He said he would impose a 25% tax on all products from Canada and as one of his first executive orders when he takes office in January. As he was leaving his West Palm Beach hotel, Trudeau stopped briefly to answer a reporter’s question about the dinner meeting, saying it was “an excellent conversation.” Trump’s transition team did not respond to questions about what the leaders had discussed. Trump, during his first term as president, once called Trudeau but it was the prime minister who was the first G7 leader to visit Trump since the Nov. 5 election. “Tariffs are a crucial issue for Canada and a bold move was in order. Perhaps it was a risk, but a risk worth taking,” Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal. Among those at the dinner were Howard Lutnick, Trump’s pick for commerce secretary; North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum, in line to lead the Interior Department; and Mike Waltz, Trump’s choice to be his national security adviser. Accompanying Trudeau were Canada’s public safety minister, Dominic LeBlanc, whose responsibilities include border security, and Katie Telford, Trudeau’s chief of staff. Trudeau had said earlier Friday that he would resolve the tariffs issue by talking to Trump. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said a day earlier after speaking with Trump that she is confident will be averted. Trudeau said Trump got elected because he promised to bring down the cost of groceries but now he’s talking about adding 25% to the cost of all kinds of products including potatoes from Prince Edward Island in Atlantic Canada. “It is important to understand that Donald Trump, when he makes statements like that, he plans on carrying them out. There’s no question about it,” Trudeau said before his leaving for Florida. “Our responsibility is to point out that he would not just be harming Canadians, who work so well with the United States, but he would actually be raising prices for Americans citizens as well and hurting American industry and business,” he added. To Nelson Wiseman, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, Trump “doesn’t need convincing that new tariffs on Canadian products would not be in U.S. interests. He knows that, but cannot say it because it would detract from what he has said publicly. His goal is to project the image that he gets action when he talks.” Those tariffs could essentially blow up the North American trade pact that Trump’s team negotiated during his first term. Trudeau noted they were able to successfully renegotiate the deal, which he calls a “win win” for both countries. Trump made the tariff threat Monday while citing an influx of migrants entering the country illegally, even though the numbers at the Canadian border pale in comparison to those at the U.S.-Mexico border. Trump also spoke about fentanyl from Mexico and Canada, even though seizures from the Canadian border are few in comparison to the Mexican border. Canadian officials say lumping Canada in with Mexico is unfair but say they are ready to make new investments in border security. When Trump imposed higher tariffs during his first term in office, other countries responded with retaliatory tariffs of their own. Canada, for instance, announced against the U.S. in a response to new taxes on Canadian steel and aluminum. Canada is the top export destination for 36 U.S. states. Nearly $3.6 billion Canadian (US $2.7 billion) worth of goods and services cross the border each day. ___ Gillies reported from Toronto. Rob Gillies And Fatima Hussein, The Associated Press

Tannery owner Sylvanus Reynolds was not only a business leader but magistrate, member of Warrington Borough Council and active and prominent Conservative. He help to build the former Conservative Club on Sankey Street and lived at Raddon Court – formerly the site of the well-known furniture shop. Yet one of the most remarkable things about his life was his death on November 13, 1887. According to reports at the time, it occurred the day after a shooting incident in which, while climbing a fence, his gun was accidentally discharged, causing extensive injury to a leg which had to be amputated at a nearby house. His funeral was an impressive occasion, with hundreds of people lining the road from his home at Raddon Court to watch the procession to St Wilfrid’s CE Church in Grappenhall. Taken by carriage, the mourners included Sir Gilbert and Lady Greenall, together with other dignitaries from politics and industry. He became the sole owner of Latchford Tannery in 1868 and by 1878 was also chairman of companies: Arthur Waring & Co, also tanners, in Winwick Street; the Castle Rubber Company in Bridge Street. He built the Raddon Court mansion in 1883 and he also erected a row of cottages for the workforce. The house has been demolished now and replaced by the current Raddon Court business. A former captain of the Warrington Volunteers force, he also presented the stain glass east window to Christ Church in Latchford, along with wife Jane, a month before his death. Tragically, to mark his services to the Conservative Association, members had subscribed for a marble bust to be sculpted in Italy. But it came in the week that he died. Donated by his wife Jane in 1888, the bust was placed in the foyer of the Conservative Club’s Sankey Street premises, where it remained until 1970 when the building was vacated before it was demolished as part of town centre works. It was later given back to the current Warrington Conservative Club back in 1992.
