The long political career of France's new prime minister, Michel Barnier Formerly a foreign minister and the EU's Brexit negotiator, Michel Barnier has had a long political career under a series of centre-right governments starting in the mid-1990s under late president Jacques Chirac. When considering a presidential run in 2022, Barnier surprised some of his EU admirers by tacking to the right, calling for an "electric shock" on security, a moratorium on immigration and the reintroduction of military service.
