Thousands protest over Michel Barnier's appointment as prime minister in France

Protesters are on the streets of cities and towns across France, denouncing the appointment of Michel Barnier as the new prime minister.

French president Emmanuel Macron's choice of Michel Barnier, a conservative, is contentious because the Left won the largest number of seats in the recent snap election.
