Thousands of people took to the streets across France to protest President Emmanuel Macron's decision to appoint centre-right Michel Barnier as prime minister with left-wing parties accusing him of stealing legislative elections.
Mr Macron named Mr Barnier, a conservative and the European Union's former Brexit negotiator, as prime minister on Thursday, capping a two-month-long search following his ill-fated decision to call a legislative election that delivered a hung parliament divided in three blocs.
In his first interview as government chief, Mr Barnier said last night that his government, which lacks a clear majority, will include conservatives, members of Macron's camp and he hoped some from the left.
