French President Emmanuel Macron reappointed Sébastien Lecornu as Prime Minister in Paris. This surprise move came just four days after Lecornu resigned. Macron made the announcement after meeting major political parties. Lecornu faces challenges like presenting next year's budget to parliament. He must also tackle France's national debt and budget deficit. Lecornu's task is difficult as Macron lacks a majority in the National Assembly. The President's approval rating has dropped to 14%. Far-right leader Jordan Bardella called Lecornu's reappointment 'a bad joke' and plans to bring a no-confidence vote against the new government. (Updated 11 Oct 2025, 02:19 IST; source: link)
