French Prime Minister Lecorn's second cabinet formation
France - Before President Macron set off for Egypt, the newly reappointed Prime Minister Lecorn officially formed the government on the evening of the 12th. The Prime Minister stated that he did not choose those who had ambitions to run for president in the next election, and the new faces in the new government have experience in civil society. The Prime Minister hopes to work together and draw up a budget for France by the end of the year. He also emphasized a detail, that the power transition would be simple, held without the participation of journalists.
French Prime Minister Lecorn thanked those who fulfilled their duties for the country beyond party differences and personal interests. "La France Insoumise" (LFI) group chairman Panu said on the evening of the 12th that the speed should not be so fast, and a vote of no confidence will soon be submitted.
In the new government submitted by the reappointed French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecorn, the ministers of foreign affairs, justice, and culture retained their positions, namely Jean-Noël Barrot, Gérard Darmanin, and Rachida Dati. Roland Lescure remained as the Minister of Finance.
The familiar faces before were replaced, including the former Interior Minister Bruno Le Tocq and the former Education Minister Elisabeth Borne. The new Interior Minister is Laurent Nunez, head of the Paris police, and the young and less-known Education Minister is Edouard Jeanneret, who previously served as Director of Education.
Media indicated that the biggest loser in Lecorn's first and second governments was the former Interior Minister Bruno Le Tocq.
It was somewhat surprising that Jean-Pierre Frandou, former CEO of the state-owned railway company SNCF, was appointed Minister of Labor.
Catherine Vautrin, who was previously appointed Minister of Labor and Health Affairs, was appointed Minister of Defense; Monica Baubau, former president of the World Wildlife Fund, was appointed Minister of Ecology.
After Lecorn became Prime Minister again, the right-wing Republican Party issued a statement saying that its members would not enter the cabinet. Chambrun, who was appointed Minister of Housing, did not take this position on behalf of the Republican Party.
Former Prime Minister Valls no longer serves as Minister of Overseas Territories, and he was replaced by Naima-Mouchi. Naima-Mouchi previously served as Minister of Artificial Intelligence and Digital Technology in Lecorn's first government.
