Paris: President Emmanuel Macron weathered a turbulent political summer, but he feels isolated and is frustrated with his new right-wing government, according to people close to him.
Macron's appointment of 73-year-old conservative Michel Barnier as prime minister ended two months of political chaos after snap legislative elections in July.
In line with his new role under the power-sharing arrangement, the centre-right president has taken a back seat on the domestic front, letting Barnier name a cabinet and concentrating on foreign policy.
In public, the 46-year-old Macron is still all smiles, but in private, he has been seething.
"I did not choose this government," Macron recently told a trusted confidante, who spoke to AFP on condition of anonymity.
