French president reappoints prime minister who quit Monday

By Joseph Ataman

Paris — French President Emmanuel Macron has reappointed Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu to his post, despite accepting his resignation Monday following the collapse of his overnight government.

“The president of the republic has named Mr Sébastien Lecornu prime minister and has charged him with forming a government,” the Élysée Palace said in a statement Friday.

In a post on X mapping out his thoughts on the government he will form, Lecornu said: “We must put an end to this political crisis that is exasperating the French people and to this instability that is detrimental to France’s image and its interests.”

He was a surprise choice, rounding off a rollercoaster week in French politics.

Late Sunday, Lecornu announced his cabinet, before it was publicly criticized by his interior minister that same night. On Monday morning, he submitted his resignation – which was accepted – before Macron reversed course and asked him to quarterback the selection of his successor in a 48-hour blitz round of talks with political opponents.

Despite those efforts, for Macron, the solution to the domino-like collapse of recent prime ministers was apparently simple: more of the same.

That decision was met with anger from his opponents.
