Overview

• President Emmanuel Macron reinstated Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister after extended consultations with major political forces.
• Lecornu pledged to do everything possible to pass France’s budget by the end of the year and to address everyday problems for citizens.
• He framed his mission as ending a political crisis that he says exhausts the public and damages France’s image and interests.
• All issues raised during political consultations will be taken to Parliament for full debate, with lawmakers expected to assume responsibility and conclude discussions.
• Prospective ministers must renounce 2027 presidential ambitions, and Lecornu said the new government team should reflect renewal and diverse competencies.
