The reappointment comes as part of Macron 's bid to avoid plunging France into another political crisis. However, it has not been well received.
French President Emmanuel Macron has reappointed Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister. This decision comes days after Lecornu announced his resignation from the post. However, this sudden reappointment has been witness to backlash from key political allies as well as the opposition.
The reappointment comes as as part of Macron's bid to avoid plunging France into another political crisis.
In the past two years, Lecornu is the fifth prime minister to have taken the office. Since Elisabeth Borne's resignation, he top French office has been subject to frequent change.
Before Lecornu, Gabriel Attal, Michel Barneir and Francois Bayrou held the post of PM.
Lecornu need to propose a 2026 budget on Monday in order to get the legislation adopted by the end of the year through the normal process. If not, the National Assembly will be required to pass an emergency bill to keep the government funded.
By giving Lecornu another chance, Macron is attempting to find political balance to prevent the next government from collapsing, which would likely make snap elections unavoidable and usher in a new period of political instability.
“We must put an end to this political crisis, which is exasperating the French people, and to this instability, which is detrimental to France’s image and its interests,” Lecornu said in a statement on social media late Friday.
If France fails to a cabinet and pass a budget, Macron would once again be pushed to call a parliamentary election or pick his sixth another prime minister in one year. The president could also be pressured to resign, however, Macron had previously said that he will not be stepping down.
