France Unveils New Government Amid Political Deadlock
Macron’s new cabinet under Lecornu aims to end parliamentary deadlock as opposition threatens no-confidence votes amid tensions over the austerity budget.
- On Sunday, French President Emmanuel Macron named a new government under Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, unveiling 18 names.
- France has been mired in deadlock since Macron gambled on snap elections last year, while for the past month Sebastien Lecornu, Prime Minister, has consulted centrist allies and opposition leaders to seek a non-aggression pact and adopt the budget.
- Roland Lescure was named economy minister with the task of delivering a budget plan, Bruno Le Maire moved to defence minister, and Jean-Noel Barrot retained his foreign portfolio along with other key ministers.
- Jordan Bardella mocked the lineup and reiterated a no-confidence threat on X, saying, `We made it clear to the prime minister: it's either a break with the past or a vote of no confidence`, while several left-wing parties also threaten a no-confidence motion.
- Conceding to pressure, Sebastien Lecornu, Prime Minister, pledged not to ram his austerity budget through parliament without a vote and sent a letter to the centrist camp and conservative Republicans pleading for unity.
