President Emmanuel Macron stunned France by reappointing Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister—just four days after his resignation—sparking fresh political turmoil in Paris. The move, announced after tense talks at the Élysée Palace, drew fury from opposition leaders Jordan Bardella and Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who blasted the decision as a “disgrace” and “theatre.” Facing a fractured parliament, a record-low approval rating, and a looming budget deadline, Macron’s gamble leaves Lecornu battling both a financial crisis and a potential no-confidence vote.
