French President Emmanuel Macron has unveiled a new government after reappointing Prime Minister Sebastian Lecornu, four days following his resignation.

Macron tasked Lecornu and his cabinet with presenting a draft budget on Monday, allowing lawmakers sufficient time to review the proposal before the end of the year.

The move comes amid ongoing efforts to stabilize government operations and ensure continuity in policy implementation.

William Denselow reports from Brussels, noting that Macron’s reshuffle is aimed at maintaining political momentum and addressing pressing economic challenges.
