French President Emmanuel Macron has re-appointed Sebastien Lecornu as Prime Minister, just days after his resignation, asking him to try again to form a government and produce a budget in a bid to end the country’s political deadlock.
Mr Lecornu’s re-appointment followed days of intense negotiations and came less than a week after he resigned. France is struggling with mounting economic challenges and ballooning debt, and the political crisis is also raising alarm across the European Union.
President Macron’s office released a statement last night, announcing the appointment. Mr Lecornu on a social media post, said, he accepted the new job offer out of duty. He said he was given a mission to do everything to give France a budget by the end of the year and respond to the daily problems of their compatriots.
Mr Lecornu said, all those who join his new government will have to renounce ambitions to run for president in 2027, adding that the new Cabinet will incarnate renewal and a diversity of skills. Lecornu abruptly resigned on Monday, only hours after unveiling a new Cabinet that drew opposition from a key coalition partner.
