Lecornu’s Parents Placed Under 24/7 Police Protection After His Move to Matignon

The Interior Ministry says the round-the-clock detail is warranted for security reasons following an assessment that placed the couple at the lowest threat level.

Les parents du premier ministre Sébastien Lecornu ont été placés sous protections judiciaires pour «raison évidente»
Sébastien Lecornu à l’Assemblée nationale, le 21 octobre 2025.

Overview

  • Police protection has been in place since September 22, coinciding with Sébastien Lecornu’s arrival as prime minister, according to Le Parisien and TF1-LCI.
  • The package includes permanent security officers and a chauffeured car, with about ten CRS stationed outside the residence, TF1-LCI reports.
  • The Interior Ministry told AFP the couple lives in the Eure and that the measure has an “obvious” security rationale, declining to specify the risks.
  • TF1-LCI reports the protection was requested by the prime minister, while a source cited by AFP says the elderly couple did not seek it and it is not for personal comfort.
  • The SDLP has voiced incomprehension given Lecornu’s recent cost-cutting pledge on protections, and this level of detail was not provided when he was defense minister.
