Political opponents criticized Lecornu's government, stating that there can be no stability without new elections.
Lecornu aims to consult political allies to build support for the 2026 budget while managing a fragmented parliamentary environment, admitting he has a 'very relative majority.'
Bruno Le Maire was appointed Defence Minister, while Roland Lescure took over the economy portfolio, tasked with delivering an austerity budget plan.
