He’s Back: Macron Appoints Lecornu as Prime Minister—Again
Rassemblement National leader Jordan Bardella promised to immediately oust the new government “whose sole reason for existing is the fear of dissolution, that is, of the people.”

Rassemblement National leader Jordan Bardella promised to immediately oust the new government “whose sole reason for existing is the fear of dissolution, that is, of the people.”

France is engulfed in renewed political uncertainty as the president struggles to replace Lecornu.

This decision just reveals the extent of the French president’s blindness.

The question is whether France can afford the luxury of yet another useless government.

Lecornu’s stint in office was the shortest ever for a prime minister in modern France.

Hours after 18 ministers were named in a cabinet lineup that pleased neither the Left nor the Right, one was already rumored to be on his way out.

Sébastien Lecornu, who is set to deliver his general policy speech on Tuesday, will reportedly appoint the members of his new government in two stages.

The union cited PM Lecornu’s promise to not push his budget through parliament without a vote as a partial reason for their decision.

The French President has urged European countries to step up joint action against Russia’s so-called shadow fleet—after the French Navy detained part of a tanker crew off the Atlantic coast.

Ousted from key National Assembly roles last year, the Rassemblement National now seeks to negotiate with Macron’s camp to regain its rights.
