France’s Macron unveils new government ahead of budget deadline

French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed a new government led by reinstalled Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu, following days of intense negotiations to break France’s political deadlock ahead of a looming budget deadline.

The new cabinet keeps key figures such as Jean-Noël Barrot as foreign minister and Gérald Darmanin as justice minister, while Catherine Vautrin becomes defense minister and Laurent Nunez takes over the interior ministry.

Lecornu described his lineup as a “mission-based government” focused on delivering a 2026 budget plan before year’s end, as France faces EU pressure to reduce its deficit.

However, Macron’s allies in the conservative Republicans (LR) party declined to formally join the coalition, pledging only case-by-case support, Al-Jazeera has reported.

The reappointment underscores Macron’s struggle to govern amid a hung parliament, mounting debt, and public anger over pension reforms that continue to threaten the government’s stability.
