Sarkozy reshuffles month-old government
Former lawyer Christine Lagarde was named finance minister and Jean-Louis Borloo, her predecessor, took over as the environment and energy minister in a reshuffle today of France’s month-old government.
In a move rich in symbolism, President Nicolas Sarkozy also named a woman of Senegalese origin and the outspoken head of a group that advocates for Muslim women as junior ministers.
