Macron Reinstates Lecornu as Prime Minister Amid Political Deadlock

 

                                            Emmanuel Macron and Sebatien Lecornu                

French President Emmanuel Macron has reappointed Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister, just days after accepting his resignation, in a dramatic bid to end France’s ongoing political crisis.

Lecornu, who initially stepped down after less than a month in office due to fierce criticism of his newly formed cabinet, agreed to return to the role “out of duty.” He pledged to focus on delivering a national budget by the end of the year and addressing the daily concerns of French citizens.

The surprise move highlights the deep political paralysis gripping France. Macron’s government has struggled to secure a majority in the National Assembly, making it nearly impossible to pass legislation without opposition support. The reappointment is widely seen as a last-ditch effort to stabilize Macron’s second term, which runs until 2027.

While allies within Macron’s Renaissance party welcomed Lecornu’s return as a step toward stability, opposition leaders sharply criticized the decision, warning it could prolong the political stalemate rather than resolve it.

For now, all eyes are on Lecornu as he attempts to rebuild his cabinet and steer France out of its political gridlock.
