After weeks of tough negotiations, France unveiled its new government, which sharply shifted to the right.
On Saturday, Michel Barnier, France’s newly appointed prime minister and former EU Brexit negotiator, unveiled his government, which is dominated by conservatives and centrists from French President Emmanuel Macron’s Renaissance party.
Among the most contentious appointments is Bruno Retailleau as interior minister, a staunch conservative who has consistently opposed same-sex marriage and voted against enshrining abortion rights in the French constitution.
Barnier faced the challenging task of assembling this cabinet in the wake of elections that left the French National Assembly without a clear majority.
