Headline: UNCAPTIONED: French Opposition Attacks Macron's Pick For Central Bank Chief
Caption: French Opposition Attacks Macron’s Pick For Central Bank Chief. French President Emmanuel Macron officially nominated Emmanuel Moulin to lead the Bank of France. Moulin, Macron’s former chief of staff, would replace François Villeroy de Galhau when his term ends in June. The nomination immediately sparked criticism from both the far right and far left in France. Jean-Philippe Tanguy blamed Moulin for France’s budget problems and questioned his record in public office. Left-wing lawmaker Eric Coquerel argued Moulin would lack independence because of his close ties to Macron’s government. The appointment still requires parliamentary approval and could be blocked by lawmakers. Opposition parties now dominate parliament, making confirmation more uncertain despite Moulin’s economic experience. A parliamentary vote on the nomination is expected later this month.
