 | | Jean-Pierre Raffarin served as the Prime Minister of France from May 6, 2002 to May 31, 2005, resigning after France's rejection of the referendum on the European Union draft constitution. | | | On March 30, 2004 Jean-Pierre Raffarin tendered the resignation of his government to president Jacques Chirac, who immediately re-appointed him prime minister, with the delegation to form a new government. | | | However, after Mr Raffarin resigned, he said his decision was not based on the outcome of the vote. |

| | Raffarin, a moderate right-wing senator and head of the Poitou-Charentes regional council in western France, will now form a government that will be at the center of the conservative campaign to win parliamentary elections on June 9 and 16. | | | Though the son of a former government minister, Raffarin has a grass-roots image that has become his trump card as voters turn against the capital to demand more power at the local and regional level and politicians who understand their concerns. | | | The announcement came barely an hour after Jospin tendered his resignation and that of his government during a 13-minute morning visit to the Elysee Palace offices of Chirac, with whom he spent five years sharing power in an awkward "cohabitation". |

| | Mr Raffarin stressed the need for French politicians to deliver after the shock success of far-right leader Jean-Marie Le Pen in the presidential elections, and following his coalition's landslide in legislative elections he pledged to live up to voters' demands. | | | Although a minister for small businesses in the 1995-1997 government of Alain Juppe, Mr Raffarin has nonetheless made much of his credentials as a grass-roots politician. | | | We will act with firmness and with openness." |

| | The dynamic forces in the country are the provinces, Raffarin says, having noticed that the call for a move to the Right in this year's elections, including law and order, anti-immigration policies and pension reform, came from a reactionary senior-citizen vote outside the capital. | | | Jean-Pierre Raffarin, France's new Prime Minister, has a mission to court humble folk in the provinces. | | | Indeed, Raffarin, a centralist, has been criticised for his 'ostentatious humility'. |

| | When Raffarin became prime minister in June 2002, he was initially admired for his accessibility in a country where powerful officials often remain aloof. | | | They highlight bickering between Raffarin and high-profile ministers, often speculating on who might replace him. | | | But ironically, given that Raffarin is a former marketing man, his government has been woe-fully maladroit at communicating its programs and proposed solutions to the public. |

| | Bell is Tolling for Raffarin |
| | Most of the prime ministers' 19 cabinet ministers who are running in the regional elections fared badly; one, the civil service minister Jean-Paul Delevoye, in Nord-Pas de Calais, suffered the ignominy of being beaten into third place by the National Front candidate. | | | The stinging rebuke delivered to Jean-Pierre Raffarin and his centre-right government in the regional elections on Sunday will probably cost the French prime minister his job, analysts and commentators have said. | | | Voters sent a clear signal of disappointment at France's steadily rising unemployment and anger at the government's cost-cutting reforms in sensitive areas like education, healthcare and pensions that left Mr Chirac facing some difficult decisions on the interrelated futures of Mr Raffarin, his centre-right cabinet, and its budget-squeezing reform plans. |
