French Cabinet reshuffle puts conservatives at top

After major reassignments last week, French President Nicolas Sarkozy has had to reshuffle his cabinet. The reshuffle aims at pleasing more conservative followers in leu of the 2010 elections. Sarkozy goal is to bring leftist, centrists and others to make a unique governing body.

"Sarkozy had been expected for months to make changes to his government before 2012 presidential elections. But the reshuffle turned into a highly unusual 24-hour marathon marked by clearly tough negotiations."

There have been many criticisms about the shuffle is that people believe he is just doing it so he can have a favorable outlook for the upcoming elections. Overall there 16 ministers lost their jobs.
