Bernard Kouchner is New French Foreign Minister - Voyons!

The appointment of Bernard Kouchner - the co-founder of "Doctors without Border" - to be the new Foreign Minister of France could prove explosive ... Here is the link to a New York Times article on Bernard Kouchner's appointment.


According to Le Monde, French socialists reacted to the appointment by throwing Bernard Kouchner out of the party.


Did Nicolas Sarkozy in forming his new government really intend to display openness? Or was Bernard Kouchner's appointment more the result of political tactics aimed at weakening the socialists before the soon to be held parliamentary elections?
