Dominique de Villepin named new French PM
Publish Date : 6/1/2005 3:08:00 PM Source : Europe News

French President Jacques Chirac named Dominique de Villepin as the new prime minister Tuesday, two days after voters rejected the European Union (EU) constitution in a referendum, reports Xinhua.

Chirac earlier accepted Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin's resignation.

The 51-year-old Villepin, who had until now been France's interior minister, will be in charge of forming a new government.

Chirac and Villepin did not immediately name a government. The new line-up is expected only by Wednesday.

Raffarin, 56, was widely expected to leave office after the Sunday referendum.
