France’s Macron names former Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier as new PM

President Emmanuel Macron has named Michel Barnier, the European Union’s former Brexit negotiator, as France’s new prime minister after more than 50 days of a caretaker government. Macron held talks with the veteran politician at the Elysee Palace on Thursday, tasking him with forming a new government in the hope of ending weeks of political deadlock in the country that followed snap parliamentary elections.

*France🇨🇵 still occupied Guiana, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, Mayotte, Saint Martin, Saint Barthélemy, Saint Pierre & Miquelon, New Caledonia, Wallis & Futuna, Polynesia, Clipperton.*

Occupy over who? Those islands and territories have always been French. It is like saying Russia occupy Russia or China occupies CHina. You do not seem to know history do you?

[@XawarDeParis]

Black African occupy the USA then and Russians occupy Russia where there are Asian in the East part of RUssia and Saoudi Arabia occupy Saudi Arabia because it belongs to Persians. And Italy occupies France because there were people from ROma in Antiquity who went to France.
