Jospin's cabinet
The Cabinet Jospin was dated 2 June 1997 to 6 May 2002, the French government under Prime Minister Lionel Jospin . It was a cohabitation , since President Jacques Chirac belonged to the bourgeois Rassemblement pour la République , while the Jospin government relied on a left-wing majority in parliament, the so-called Gauche plurielle ( diverse left , also: majorité plurielle, multiple majority ).
The cabinet underwent some fundamental changes in 2000: first, through a government reshuffle on March 27, Jospin incorporated several important figures from the Parti Socialiste into the cabinet, including the former Prime Minister Laurent Fabius as finance minister. On August 29, Interior Minister Jean-Pierre Chevènement and with it the Mouvement républicain et citoyen left the government. On October 18, Minister for Employment and Solidarity Martine Aubry , who had been responsible for some key government reforms such as the introduction of the 35-hour week, left the government to focus on her candidacy for mayor in Lille.
With a term of four years and 338 days, the Jospin government is the longest in office in the Fifth Republic . Although Prime Ministers Georges Pompidou and François Fillon served longer, they formed several governments during their term of office.
The government resigned on May 6, 2002, the day after the second round of the 2002 presidential election . Lionel Jospin was eliminated as a candidate for the Parti Socialiste in the first round of this election . The successor to the Jospin government was the Raffarin I cabinet under Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin .
