Macron's new cabinet tilts right with old pillars, some surprises

President Emmanuel Macron of France convened a new, smaller cabinet for the first time on Friday, a day after a government reshuffle that brought in a handful of new ministers but that left most key positions untouched. "A united government," Macron said before camera crews were ushered out before the cabinet meeting. "Let's get to work." Many of the 14 ministers around the table were longtime pillars of Macron's government, including interior minister Gerald Darmanin, economy minister Bruno Le Maire, defence minister Sebastien Lecornu and. justice minister Eric Dupond-Moretti.
