  • French President Emmanuel Macron re-appointed Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister on October 10, 2024.
  • Lecornu resigned four days earlier, making him the shortest-lived premier in modern French history.
  • Lecornu accepted the role 'out of duty' and pledged to form a government focused on renewal and budget approval.
  • His initial cabinet faced criticism for lacking personnel changes, leading to his resignation.
  • Far-right Rassemblement National (RN) and radical left La France Insoumise (LFI) vowed to vote against Lecornu's government, but lack sufficient votes to topple it.
  • Macron faces a political crisis, with a hung Parliament and opposition from former allies like Edouard Philippe.
  • Lecornu aims to present a revised 2026 budget draft by Monday, meeting the year-end deadline.
  • The new government may adopt a more technocratic approach, with ministers avoiding 2027 presidential ambitions.
