The article reports on the appointment of S\u00e9bastien Lecornu as the new Prime minister of France, succeeding Fran\u00e7ois Bayrou who lost a confidence vote amid intense political divisions and unpopular austerity measures. Lecornu, a former defense minister<\/a> and loyalist to President Emmanuel Macron, has taken a more cautious approach by proposing symbolic reforms such as ending lifetime benefits for former government members. This move is largely seen as minor compared to Bayrou’s radical budget cuts, which included slashing unemployment benefits and removing public holidays. Lecornu aims to build broader support, including from the Socialist Party, to avoid another quick ousting. despite Macron’s deep unpopularity and a fractured parliament, he remains the country’s central figure in foreign policy and defense, benefiting from the stability of the French Fifth Republic system. The article also highlights ongoing political gridlock, wiht right-wing parties leading in polls, and the risk that repeated prime minister changes could paralyze governance amid France’s financial challenges.
