Lecornu is trying to establish a government in France with few expectations, given that the opposition is already threatening him with a vote of no confidence.

The prime minister, who was reappointed on Friday by Emmanuel Macron after resigning, is due to announce his budget next week. This morning, Sébastien Lecornu, the French prime minister, was at a police station in the Paris region. There, he spoke with police officers and gave a speech about security, as if it were an ordinary visit within the daily schedule of a prime minister. However, in this unprecedented political crisis in France, nothing is normal. Lecornu's defeatist attitude is a revelation.
