| | Prime Minister of France - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rather, one of the government ministers held the semi-official title of President of the Council of Ministers (Président du Conseil des Ministres, short Président du Conseil), and was unofficially known as the prime minister (premier ministre). | | | In the Fifth Republic the chief political figure in France is the President of the Republic with the Prime Minister having secondary importance. | | | When the President and the Prime Minister are of the same party, the Prime Minister often plays the role of a "fuse": that is, citizens lay the blame of the failures of governmental policy on him or her, and when the Prime Minister is unpopular, he or she resigns in order to protect the President. |

| | Stung by vote, prime minister of France to quit |
| | Juppe's desperate gesture, the first resignation tendered by a French prime minister in the thick of a political campaign, had appeared all but inevitable after the current government was swamped in the first stage of a two-round parliamentary election Sunday. | | | Under the French system, the prime minister must be able to secure a majority in parliament, but he or she -- there has been one woman, Socialist Edith Cresson, in 1991-92 -- customarily serves as a safety valve for the president and is sacrificed for reasons of tactical or electoral expediency. | | | After discreetly calling during the afternoon on President Jacques Chirac, who is empowered by the Constitution to appoint the prime minister, or head of government, Juppe made his declaration to a meeting of the joint campaign committee of his Neogaullist Rally for the Republic party and its coalition partner, Union for French Democracy. |

| | After a stint as foreign minister at the Quai d'Orsay, Mr de Villepin was appointed interior minister in March 2004 and tackled radical Islam head-on. | | | He was one of the president's closest confidants as secretary general of the presidency - a post he took up in 1995 after Jacques Chirac was first elected. | | | The silver-haired politician, once referred to as a "diplomatic pin-up" by a newspaper, cuts a dashing figure in the often grey world of French politics. |
