French President Emmanuel Macron has appointed 18 ministers, as a “skeleton” of the new government of Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu. The Eliseo announces it. A first council of ministers will be held tomorrow afternoon with Macron, while Tuesday the Prime Minister will hold his general policy speech, the French media report.
The French premier Sebastien Lecornu asks his ministers to be “negotiators and find compromises with all parliamentarians”. A request, that of Lecornu, marked by the fact that it is without the majority to the national assembly and threatened by the opposition. This government “resembles the common basis” of the right and the center of the previous government coalition and “unites stability”, since “some actors and administrations need continuity”, and the “renewal, given that of the ministers appointed today, a third” of them “did not belong to the previous government”, says Lecornu through its entourage. His “first goal will be to approve a budget for the end of the year” “Driving some major projects of national interest for our fellow citizens,” added the same source.
