Macros government mix from left and right

The French president Emmanuel Macron presented his government on Wednesday and it consists of a mix of left and right politicians.

Thus, the Socialist Jean-Yves Le Drian becomes Foreign Minister. He was still Minister of Defense under Macron's predecessor François Hollande. Another socialist, Mayor Gerard Collomb of Lyon, becomes Minister of the Interior.

The right Bruno Le Maire is going to wave the scepter about the French Ministry of Economy. Earlier this week Macron chose conservative Edouard Philippe as prime minister.
