France’s freshly reappointed Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu began installing his government on Sunday, under pressure to produce a budget to steady the political crisis that is worsening the country’s economic troubles.

Lecronu, 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 Friday.
