The new French government, whose composition was announced earlier in the day, is made up of politicians who are either "incompetent" or blind followers of a certain party, with no expected change in sight, the National Front (FN) party said Wednesday.

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — The FN urged to vote for its candidates at the upcoming two-round legislative election, scheduled for June 11 and June 18.

"Seeing the return to the individuals who have largely proven their total incompetence, like [Francois] Bayrou, [Bruno] Le Maire or [Jean-Yves] Le Drian, or apparatchiks, like [Marielle] de Sarnez or [Christophe] Castaner, we have to state that the renovation or preference for high competence, which were promised, have not occurred," the party's statement said.
