Did any EU27 politician oppose appointing Barnier as Brexit negotiator for the EU?
Michel Barnier is the European Chief Negotiator for the United Kingdom Exiting the European Union and represents the EU27 in the Brexit negotiations between the UK and the EU27.
Given how the EU27 consists of 27 countries with different interests in the negotiations, did any politician from the EU27 (including MEPs and national politicians) publicly oppose appointing Barnier as Brexit negotiator for the EU?

"Any politician from the EU27" is a very vast category. I guess that on almost any issue there is some politician opposing it.

@Trilarion I hadn't really heard about any opposition to the nomination so I thought it was better to be open to many answers rather than asking a narrow question possibly eliminating the few interesting answers there are.

Perhaps not from governmental parties, but a German MEP, Hans-Olaf Henkel criticised Barmier saying that he wanted to "make a mess out of this whole unhappy situation".
Henkel represented the Eurosceptic "AfD" party is Vice Chair of the ECR group in the European Parliament that seeks fundamental reform of the EU.
In general "Eurosceptic" and "Eurorealist" groups wanted a negotiator that would have established a precedent that it was easy to leave the EU, and one could do so while picking and choosing the economic benefits.
