Lecornu Unveils New French Government After Reappointment. French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced his new government on Sunday, just two days after being reappointed. The Cabinet blends civil servants and politicians, including several figures from Lecornu’s short-lived first government, which collapsed after only 14 hours. Key ministers such as Gérald Darmanin (Justice), Amélie de Montchalin (Budget), and Jean-Noël Barrot (Foreign Affairs) will remain in their posts. Roland Lescure stays on as economy and finance minister, tasked with drafting a 2026 budget and tackling France’s soaring deficit. Conservative Catherine Vautrin becomes armed forces minister, while Annie Genevard and Rachida Dati keep their roles as agriculture and culture ministers. Paris police chief Laurent Nuñez is named interior minister, and former SNCF head Jean-Pierre Farandou takes over as labor minister. Lecornu called his new Cabinet a “mission-based government,” focused on passing the national budget before year’s end. Opposition parties on both the far-right and far-left vowed to vote down the government, while Socialists remain undecided pending Lecornu’s policy outline.
