The Elysee Palace has announced that French President Emmanuel Macron appointed Sébastien Lecornu as the new Prime Minister, marking the fifth individual to assume this role within a period of less than two years during his administration.
This decision follows the recent ousting of former Prime Minister François Bayrou, who was removed through a no-confidence vote due to his policies aimed at reducing public spending.
Lecornu now faces the challenging task of navigating the approval of next year’s budget in a parliament that is intensely divided and fraught with conflict.
