After meeting with MacronFrench Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu unveiled his next government on Sunday night just two days after being reappointed.
The new Cabinet consists of both civil servants and politicians, including some who were tapped during Lecornu’s first attempt at forming a government last week. Anger over the composition of that administration pushed the 39-year-old PM to submit his resignation after just 14 hours, thrusting France into crisis.
Among those staying on are Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin, Budget Minister Amélie de Montchalin and Foreign Minister Jean-Noël Barrot, centrists who have been in their posts since early this year. Roland Lescure, an ally of President Emmanuel Macron who had been named economy and finance minister in Lecornu’s abortive government, will also stay on.
