Various of de Villepin being congratulated by senators STORYLINE France's newly appointed prime minister, Dominique de Villepin, began his first day in his new post on Wednesday, after President Jacques Chirac promoted him from the Interior Ministry to replace the unpopular Jean-Pierre Raffarin. Villepin's first task is to form a government and tackle the nation's top priority - unemployment. It was not clear when the Cabinet would be named, with some suggesting it might be as late as Friday. He also had to contend with a national train strike on his first day in office. 51 year old Villepin - a senator's son, writer and poet who speaks excellent English - has long been close to Chirac. He was Chirac's voice, as the then Foreign Minister, at the UN Security Council in the crisis over Iraq in 2003, arguing that war should be a last resort. Chirac promoted de Villepin in a cabinet reshuffle after the French on Sunday voted 'no' to the European constitution by a 55 per cent majority in a referendum. The new prime minister is due to give his first television interview on Wednesday night.
