Now, the former Prime Minister finds himself back in the thick of things, facing the challenge of submitting a budget to lawmakers by a tight deadline on Monday.
Macron’s office announced: “The President of the Republic has appointed Mr. Sébastien Lecornu as Prime Minister and tasked him with forming a Government.”
Lecornu spent less than a month in office during his previous term and only unveiled his first government last Sunday before resigning.
This absurd situation means that Macron has appointed eight prime ministers in less than nine years, with Lecornu being the latest two.
His recent appointment has prompted opposition parties to threaten an immediate vote of no confidence.
