Macron Reappoints Lecornu as French Prime Minister
French President Emmanuel Macron has reappointed Sébastien Lecornu as Prime Minister, just days after Lecornu’s unexpected resignation created a political crisis in the country. This decision highlights the urgent need for stable leadership as France approaches a crucial budget deadline.
Reappointment Amidst Crisis
Lecornu accepted his reappointment late Friday, expressing his commitment to serve out of duty. In a tweet, he vowed to work diligently to deliver a budget for France by year-end.
Importance of Budget Submission
The reappointment was essential, as the French government needs a Prime Minister to present the budget to lawmakers. The looming legislative deadline is set for Monday.

Had Macron chosen a different candidate, they would have inherited the budget that Lecornu’s team drafted, complicating the situation further. Lecornu’s brief resignation and quick return underline the challenges facing the French government.
Future Prospects
The political landscape in France remains volatile, and Lecornu’s ability to navigate through this period will be scrutinized closely. His commitment to stabilizing the government and delivering a budget will be pivotal in determining his future as Prime Minister.
