French President Emmanuel Macron appointed a new government on Sunday, headed by Sébastien Lecornu, as he strives to lead the country out of a deepening political crisis.
The new government lineup was revealed nearly a month after Lecornu was tasked with forming the government, marking him as the seventh prime minister under Macron’s presidency.
However, the new prime minister faces the risk of being ousted by a highly divided parliament despite his efforts to secure cross-party support.
Bruno Le Maire, former Minister of Economy from 2017 to 2024, returned to the government in the role of Minister of the Armed Forces.
Roland Lescure was appointed Minister of Economy, tasked with the challenging responsibility of preparing the national budget.
Many ministers from the previous government retained their portfolios, including Foreign Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian.
Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin remained in office and vowed to continue efforts against illegal immigration, while Culture Minister Rachida Dati also retained her position despite facing a corruption trial next year.
France has been struggling with a profound political crisis since Macron called for early legislative elections last year in an attempt to strengthen his authority.
This move resulted in a fragmented parliament divided into three hostile political blocs, leading to the fall of the two previous governments led by François Bayrou and Michel Barnier, after proposed austerity budgets were rejected by the parliament.
Lecornu is expected to outline his government’s agenda in a speech to parliament on Tuesday, amid threats from several left-wing parties to table a motion of no confidence.
