French Lawmakers Confirm Emmanuel Moulin as Banque de France Governor

Claim French lawmakers approved Emmanuel Macron's former chief of staff, Emmanuel Moulin, to govern the Banque de France.

Evidence Parliamentary vote records show 52 votes in favor and 58 against, which did not reach the three-fifths threshold needed to block the nomination. The finance committees of both the National Assembly and the Senate did not oppose Moulin. AFP and other news outlets reported that lawmakers approved him for the central bank post.

Verdict The claim is true.

Analysis Because the vote fell short of the supermajority required to reject the nominee, the appointment proceeds without formal obstruction. Multiple sources corroborate the outcome, and no contradictory evidence appears in the record.
