Just four days after stepping down, the prime minister has returned as France faces rising debt and economic strain<\/p>\n
French President Emmanuel Macron has reinstated Sebastien Lecornu as prime minister, just four days after accepting his resignation from the role.
\nLecornu had stepped down on Monday, less than a month after first taking office. According to a statement from the Elysee Palace on Friday, he will now be responsible for assembling a new government. The decision marks an unexpected turn after several days of political negotiations aimed at resolving France\u2019s ongoing parliamentary deadlock.
\n\u201cI accept \u2013 out of duty \u2013 the mission entrusted to me by the President of the Republic to do everything possible to provide France with a budget by the end of the year and to address the daily life issues of our fellow citizens,\u201d Lecornu wrote on X.
\n\u201cWe must put an end to this political crisis that exasperates the French people and to this instability that is harmful to France\u2019s image and its interests,\u201d he added.Appointed just a month ago, Lecornu has faced growing pressure in recent weeks as he grappled with pushing a budget through France\u2019s deeply divided Parliament while contending with a worsening debt crisis.Lecornu stepped down after his proposed lineup of ministers drew backlash from both the right and left, who criticized it for including too many familiar figures from the previous government led by former Prime Minister Francois Bayrou.<\/p>\n
