France's new right-leaning government held its first meeting early on Monday, with Prime Minister Michel Barnier presiding over a working breakfast before a first official cabinet meeting at the Élysée Palace later in the day. Incoming Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said that his priority would be to "restore order" as he took the reins of his ministry.
The long wait for the new French government – 11 weeks after a snap election called by President Emmanuel Macron – ended on Saturday when a new team was announced that marks a shift to the right.
