France’s freshly reappointed Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu began installing his government on Oct. 12 under pressure to produce a budget to steady the political crisis that is worsening the country’s economic troubles.
Lecornu, 39, regarded as a centrist and an ally of President Emmanuel Macron, resigned from his position as prime minister on Oct. 6 after just 27 days, but was reappointed by Macron on Oct. 10.
