Macron Appoints Sébastien Lecornu as New Prime Minister

French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed his close ally, Sébastien Lecornu, as the new Prime Minister, succeeding François Bayrou after a brief tenure. At 39, Lecornu faces significant challenges, including budget issues and anticipated protests. Analysts express skepticism about his longevity in the role, suggesting it may be surprising if he remains in office for more than a year.
