Macron reappoints Lecornu France's PM
Shafaq News – Paris
French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday reappointed Sebastien Lecornu as prime minister, just days after he had submitted his resignation.
The Elysee Palace said Macron "has tasked him [Lecornu] with forming a government."
France has been facing political uncertainty since a snap election in mid-2024, which left no bloc with a clear majority. The French president called the election shortly after his party underperformed in the European elections, losing several seats to the far right.
In a post on X, Lecornu confirmed that he had accepted the mission “out of duty,” emphasizing that “the political crisis must end.”
He also pledged to do “everything possible” to ensure France adopts a budget by the end of the year, underscoring that restoring public finances remains “a priority for our future.”
J’accepte - par devoir - la mission qui m’est confiée par le Président de la République de tout faire pour donner un budget à la France pour la fin de l’année et de répondre aux problèmes de la vie quotidienne de nos compatriotes.Il faut mettre un terme à cette crise politique…
