France's newly appointed Prime Minister Michel Barnier explained that his future government wouldn't be only a right-wing government.
In an interview with French public television TF1, Barnier said on Friday evening that his government can gather people not only from his political family, Les Republicains or The Republicans, but also members of the previous government and even members of left-wing parties.
Xinhua news agency reported that Barnier said he would consider proportionality when composing a government, if required, as RN of the far-right wing is the individual party with the most seats in the National Assembly.
"But I need to discuss with all the political groups," he added.
In the interview to TF1, Barnier noted that he would commit to the control of "migratory flows with concrete measures".
"There are proposals everywhere. No one has a monopoly on good ideas. We need to find solutions. The priority is to control immigration in a rigorous and humanist way," he said.
He also commented on budget and economic growth and said he would "improve" the retirement reform.
French President Emmanuel Macron nominated former Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier as the new Prime Minister on Thursday.
During Thursday evening's handover ceremony, Barnier pledged that as the new Prime Minister, he will tackle "the challenges, the anger, the suffering, and the sense of abandonment and injustice" that the country is living through.
First among Barnier's pressing tasks comes the formation of a government able to produce a draft budget for 2025 before October 1 and to present that budget for voting in the National Assembly.
73-year-old Michel Barnier, the oldest premier in the history of modern France, is a former Foreign Minister who has lately served as Brexit negotiator for the European Union.
