French President
Emmanuel Macron on Friday reappointed Sebastien Lecornu as prime minister just days after he
submitted his resignation.
"The president of the republic has nominated Mr Sebastien Lecornu as prime minister and has tasked him with forming a government," the Elysee Palace said in a statement.
Lecornu accepts reappointment
"It is my duty to accept the mission entrusted to me by the President to do everything in my power to give France a budget for the end of the year and to respond to the everyday problems of our compatriots," Lecornu said.
"We need to put an end to this political crisis, which is exasperating the French people, and to this instability, which is bad for France's image and its interests," he added.

Lecornu resigned on Monday, just 14 hours after naming his Cabinet, which had met resistance from rival political parties.
On Wednesday, it was announced that Macron would reveal his choice for the new prime minister within 48 hours, though no indication was given as to who that might be.
France has been in a state of political turmoil since a snap election in mid-2024, which left no camp with a majority. Macron called the election soon after his party performed poorly in European elections in a surprise move, losing many seats to the far right in the process
