Barnier drove a hard bargain in Brexit negotiators, infuriating Brexiteers during a time of tense relations with the EU.
French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed Michel Barnier as the country’s new prime minister after a long deadlock caused by snap elections.
His appointment is likely to rile pro-Brexit groups in the UK. On Tuesday, Bruno La Maire, the outgoing finance minister, announced that the French deficit was heading to be higher than expected, at 5.6 per cent of GDP this year and to surpass six per cent in 2025.The protracted political deadlock came after Macron called the polls earlier this summer after Marine Le Pen’s populist Eurosceptic National Rally party trounced his ruling coalition in the June European elections.
