PARIS — French President Emmanuel Macron on Friday reappointed Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister — less than a week after Lecornu’s stunning resignation as PM plunged France into a political crisis.
Lecornu confirmed he had accepted the job “out of duty” in a late night tweet and said he would “do everything possible to provide France with a budget by the end of the year.”
While Lecornu repeatedly tamped down speculation that he would once again take the reins of government during the week, his renomination seemed a likely possibility with a prime minister needed in place to submit a budget to lawmakers ahead of a legislative deadline Monday.
Had Macron appointed someone else, they would have likely needed to put forward the budget drafted by Lecornu and his team.
This developing story will be updated.
