Macron is re -appointed Lecornu as a French prime minister after days of turmoil

President Emanuel Macron asked Sebastien Guard to return as a French prime minister only four days after retiring from office, igniting a week of high drama and political turmoil.

Macron made the message late on Friday, hours after he met with all major parties in the Elise Palace, with the exception of leaders of the final and final left.

The return of Guard came as a surprise, as he said on national television just two days ago that he did not “pursue the work” and his “mission was over”.

It is not even certain that it will be able to form a government, but it will have to hit the ground. The new Prime Minister is facing a deadline on Monday to set the budget for the next year before parliament.

Elise said the President had “set (a lady) with the formation of a government”, and Macron’s entourage indicated that he had received a “card Blanche” to act.

Guard, who is 39 and one of Macron’s most loyal allies, then released a long statement about X, in which he accepted “out of duty, the mission entrusted to me by the president to do anything to give France a budget by the end of the year and to answer the daily problems of our countrymen.”

When this week appeared on French television, Guardian describes himself as a “soldier-monk” and as he prepares to cope with the formation of a government he said on Friday, “I will do anything to succeed in this mission.”

Political units on how to overthrow France’s national debt and reduce the budget deficit have led to the fall of two of the last three premieres in the last year, so its challenge is huge.

French public debt earlier this year was almost 114% of economic production (GDP) – the third highest in the euro area – and this year the budget deficit is expected to reach 5.4% of GDP.

Among the conditions that Lecornu listed to take a job is that “no one will be able to shake” the need to restore France’s public finances. Only 18 months before the end of Macron’s presidency, he also warned that anyone who joined his government would have to stay with his presidential ambitions.

What makes him even more difficult for a horn is that he will face a vote of confidence in the National Assembly, where Macron does not have a majority to support him. The President’s popularity has reached a record low this week, according to Elabe Pult, which set his approval assessment of 14%.

Jordan Bardela of the far -right national rally, which was not invited to Macron’s conversations with party leaders on Friday, said he was a “bad joke”, from president “more than ever isolated and expelled in Elise.”

Bardela said his party would immediately bring a vote of confidence against a doomed coalition, whose sole reason for this was fear of election.

At least he knows the trains forward as he tries to form a government, as he has already spent two days in conversations with parties that can join his government this week.

He was first appointed Prime Minister on September 9 and spent the next three weeks as a government, just to break up at night when conservative Republican leader Bruno Depthele criticized one of the ministers.

The centrist parties themselves cannot form a government and have splits in conservative Republicans who have helped to support Macron’s governments as he lost his majority in the election last year. Detlee, who is known to have presidential ambitions, make it clear that he will not be part of Lecornu II.

Thus, the centrist prime minister will also strive for left-wing parties for potential support.

In an attempt to judge the left, Macron’s team said the president was considering a delay in some of his highly controversial retirement reforms adopted in 2023, which increased the retirement age from 62 to 64.

This failed to ask for the left leaders, as they hoped he would choose a prime minister, for his part. Olivier Faur of the Socialists said: “Since we have not been guaranteed, we will not give any guarantee (to support the Prime Minister) in the case of a vote of confidence.”

Fabien Russell of the Communists said after meeting the president that the Left wants a real change, and the Prime Minister from the Centrist Camp of the President will not be accepted by the French.

The leader of the Green Sea Tondlier said he was “stunned” Macron offered almost nothing to the left, adding that “all this will turn out to be very bad.”
