Lecornu, who resigned as PM on Monday, is tasked with urgently delivering a budget to parliament
The French president, Emmanuel Macron, has reappointed his centrist ally Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister – days after Lecornu dramatically resigned and his new government collapsed after only 14 hours.
Lecornu said he accepted returning to the role “out of duty” and would do “everything possible to provide France with a budget by the end of the year and to address the daily life issues of our fellow citizens”.
