| 2025-09-10 |
Good luck, your Excellency. Especially with getting your budget passed… and being permitted to serve out your term, of course. [IsraelTimes] French President Emmanuel Macron on Tuesday named defense minister Sebastien Lecornu as the new prime minister to replace Francois Bayrou and resolve a deepening political crisis as protests loom in the next days."Next!" Macron has told Lecornu "to consult the political forces represented in parliament with a view to adopting a budget for the nation and making the agreements essential for the decisions of the coming months," the Elysee announced. Bayrou, who survived just nine months in office, submitted his resignation to Macron earlier on Tuesday after La Belle France’s parliament ousted the government. On Monday, Bayrou suffered a crushing loss in a confidence vote he had himself called, plunging La Belle France into fresh uncertainty and leaving Macron with the task of finding the seventh premier of his mandate.
