The Saint-Just government is the current government of the Kingdom of France, formed in April 2019, after the 2019 French general election. Oscar de Saint-Just, the leader of the French Action party, leads the cabinet as the head of the largest party in the National Assembly. The cabinet was planned before election, and its composition was announced on 24 April, after some changes in negotiations between Saint-Just and Jean-Christophe Métais, the leader of the Christian Democratic Party.

Because the composition of the cabinet was determined quickly, the Saint-Just government was sworn in by King Jean IV of France on 25 April.

History

Main article: 2019 French general election

The Christian Democratic Party (PCD) experienced an upset victory during the April 2019 French general election, which saw French Action (AF) gain the plurality of seats in both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate of France. A coalition was formed between AF and PCD (the other center-right party, The Republicans, joined the opposition) as had existed before the election, but now AF was the leader of the coalition instead of a junior partner. As such, the majority of cabinet posts went to AF, though there are four PCD ministers, one of them being, as is tradition, the deputy prime minister.
