Sébastien Lecorn today began his second term of Prime Minister France, faced with serious pressure – he must appoint new members of the cabinet, while the political opponents have already announced that they will try to crash his government.
French President Emmanuel Macron once appointed his loyal Prime Minister, only a few days after Lecorna resigned, claiming to form a stable government-divided parliament that could vote the budget for 2026. Year.
Lecorne was previously prime minister for only 27 days, which makes him premiere with the shortest internship in modern French history – but it is certain that this time will take longer.
Political crisis in France
Macron’s decision caused sharp opposition reactions. His fiercest opponents believe that the only way out of, as they say, the deepest political crisis in France in the last few decades – the disbandment of parliament and call early elections, or even Macron’s resignation.
The extreme left and right already announced that he would vote against Lecornu, which means that his destiny will depend on the support of the Socialists – whose attitudes are not yet known.
Budget as a top priority
Lecorna has very little time – until Monday must present a draft budget, first before members of the Government, and then before parliament.
This implies that they will have to appoint key ministers – especially those in charge of finance, budget and social issues.
Neither the Jelisei Palace nor the Cabinet of the Prime Minister not announced for now when they would appoint ministers, nor who could be new members of the Government.
In publication on the social network X, Lecorne emphasized that anyone who is part of his government must give up on personal ambitions to succeed Macron 2027. years. He promised a cabinet that would symbolize “reconstruction and variety.”
Although he has not yet presented the details of the budget, Lecorne previously stated that the budget deficit should be reduced to between 4.7 and 5 percent of GDP next year – which is more than 4.6 percent of its predecessor. This year’s deficit is expected to be 5.4 percent.
It is also unknown what plans related to disputed issues such as the abolition of Macron’s pension system reform and the introduction of taxes for billionaires – which are the conditions that the Socialists have set up for the possible support of its minority government.
