The President of France Emmanuel Macron appointed her prime minister France Sebastian Lekornou, the Minister of Armed Forces in the country to date.
Sebastian Lekornou will be the fifth prime minister in France in less than two years, and Emmanuel Macron has chosen him as François Bairou who resigned after failing to secure a vote of confidence from the French parliament.
Bairo’s successor is confronted with the difficult task of approving the budget by parliament, where the government has so far not had a majority.
At the same time, he will lead a government preparing for mass protests.
Politico has described him as a “political survivor” as he was the only minister who has remained in government Since French President Emmanuel Macron was first elected in 2017. “
President Macron has commissioned Sebastian Lekornou, who will take on the duties of Wednesday, September 10, to “consult with the political forces represented in Parliament with the aim of approving the budget and reaching agreements necessary by the agreements that are necessary”.
“Following these discussions, it is up to the new Prime Minister to form a government,” he said.
The 39 -year -old Lekorni, a former senator who holds a government post since 2017, took over the Armed Forces ministry at a difficult time, a few months after the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and was established as a trusted and close associate.
Last December he was among the favorites for the prime minister, but then Macron eventually chose Center Francois Bayou to succeed Conservative Michel Barnier.
“The president is throwing a shooting shot at Macronism, having been fortified along with a few trusted people,” commented French far -right leader Marin Lepen in a post on the X platform.
Jean-Lyk Melanson, the leader of the radical left LFI (“disobedient France”), spoke of a “sad comedy”, demanding the resignation of President Emmanuel Macron.
The French president aspires to expand the fragile coalition that supported the previous government. Although he wishes to work with the Socialists, Macron did not choose the leader of the Socialist Party (PS) for Prime Minister Olivier Fort.
In the meantime, the movement with the slogan “block everything” – which was born in the summer through social networks and is backed by some trade unions and the radical left – calls on the country’s paralysis on Wednesday.
About 80,000 police officers and gendarmes will be deployed throughout France, where dozens of protest events are organized against Macron politics, while the Civil Aviation Authority provides for problems and delays in all French airports.
