Macron names loyalist Lecornu as new French PM
French President Emmanuel Macron has chosen Loyalist Sebastien Lecornu, a one -time conservative protein gathered behind the 2017 Presidential Run – as a prime minister, he can choose a progressive that challenges expectations.
The 39 -year -old Lecornu’s election shows the determination to press a minority government behind the pro -business economic reform agenda, where Macron’s work and wealthy taxes are cut and the retirement age is increasing.
Macron was forced to appoint a fifth prime minister after two years after the parliament took the Francois Bayrou for nine months on the country’s balloon debt on his domestication plans.
While delivering the business to Lecornu, Macron faces the risk of alienation of the socialist party, and leaving the President and government under the marine Le Pen’s nationalist nationalist national rally to support parliament.
Lecornu’s emergency priority will be a task that proves the recovery of Bayrou, which pushes a deficit to relieve a deficit, about 3 percent of GDP for aggressive expenditure cuts for aggressive expenditure cuts for 2026.
This week, political turmoil is deeper in a debt swamp in France, while weakening the largest economy of the euro zone, leaving the bare deepening turmoil.
Lecornu’s nomination is not dangerous for Macron.
It faces the risk of popular discontent boiling and polls showing that voters want change.
The country -wide “prevents everything” protests threaten widespread deterioration on Wednesday.
Lecornu recently served as Macron’s Defense Minister and supervised an increase in military expenditures, and in case of a peace agreement with Russia, he helped to shape Europe on European security guarantees on security guarantees for Ukraine.
Lecornu, in local governments, overseas and during Macron’s yellow vests, he tasks that he helped to manage his anger with dialogue.
He also held negotiations about autonomy during the unrest in Guadeloupe in 2021.
Lecornu entered politics for former president Nicolas Sarkozy at the age of 16.
At the age of 18, he became the mayor of a small town in Normandy and then Sarkozy’s youngest government advisor.
When the President was first elected in 2017, he left the Conservative Les Party to participate in Macron’s centralist political movement.
Five years later, he carried out Macron’s re -election campaign.
Macron seems to have decided to protect the economic heritage at all costs by calling a minister with a conservative background from his own camp.
Socialists promised to reverse some of the flagship pro -business policies, including the scrapping and retirement age of the reserve tax.
From time to time, Lecornu had the ear of Marine Le Pen and party chief Jordan Bardella, where Lecornu had a secret dinner last year.
RN officials told Reuters that they could get some kind of implicit support to Lecornu if they are called Prime Minister.
RN said he would not tolerate tax increases in hardworking people.
