French Prime Minister Michel Barnier vows to take a “zero tolerance’ approach regarding racism and antisemitism in leading the government of a country that has become increasingly divided on its shared values and political views.

“I have my own red lines, which are also those of the whole government — there will be zero tolerance for racism and antisemitism,” Barnier tells parliament.
