Barnier Takes Helm at Matignon

Published: 2024-09-10

Michel Barnier has been appointed as the new Prime Minister of France, taking over the leadership at Matignon.

This appointment marks a significant political shift, as Barnier is a prominent figure from the right.

Gérald Darmanin, the outgoing Minister of the Interior, is preparing for his political comeback in Tourcoing.

Despite his support for Xavier Bertrand, who faced opposition, Darmanin's future role in Barnier's government remains uncertain.

After four years at the Ministry of the Interior, Darmanin's next political move is eagerly anticipated as the new government team is being formed.
