French Prime Minister Manuel Valls presented a new Socialist government, a day after dissolving his cabinet in a dispute over austerity measures.

Gone are leftist rebels Arnaud Montebourg and Benoit Hamon, who openly criticized President François Hollande‘s belt-tightening agenda. Montebourg was replaced as economy minister by Emmanuel Macron.

Najat Vallaud-Belkacem, a rising star of the Socialist Party who was women‘s rights minister in the last government, succeeds Hamon as education minister. Vallaud-Belkacem, 36, is the first woman in the history of the 56-year-old Fifth Republic to have held the post.

Several Hollande loyalists kept their top jobs. They include Finance Minister Michel Sapin, Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius, Defence Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian and Hollande‘s ex-partner, Environment Minister Segolene Royal.

The main people to constitute the new French government are as follows;

Minister of Finance Michel Sapen

Minister of Economy Emmanuel Macron

Minister of Foreign Affairs Laurent Fabius

Minister for European Affairs Harlem Desiree

Minister of Interior Bernard Cazeneuve

Minister of Education Najat Vallaud Belkacem

Minister of Ecology  Segolene Royal

Minister of Labour Francois Rebsamen

Minister of Culture Fleur Pellerin
