France’s newly reappointed Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu named a new government Sunday, as he faces pressure to urgently produce a budget and quell political turmoil that is scaring businesses and investors and staining the country’s image.
The Cabinet includes several familiar faces from previous governments who hail from French President Emmanuel Macron’s centrist camp, as well as allied conservatives, and some people from outside the political sphere.
It is unclear how long this new team will last. Macron, whose term ends in 2027, lacks a majority in the deeply fractured parliament and is losing support from his own ranks. Meanwhile, Marine Le Pen’s ascendant far-right National Rally party is calling for new elections, while far-left France Unbowed wants the president to resign.
Immediately after the president’s office announced the new Cabinet, the conservative Republicans party announced it was expelling the six party members who agreed to join the government.
