France unveils new cabinet under Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu

00:28

French Presidential Secretary General Emmanuel Moulin on Sunday announced the composition of the new government under Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu. Elisabeth Borne was appointed minister of national education, Manuel Valls will oversee overseas territories, and Bruno Le Maire moves from finance to defense. Roland Lescure, a close ally of President Macron, becomes finance minister, while key ministers such as Jean-Noel Barrot at foreign affairs and Bruno Retailleau at the interior ministry remain in their posts. The new cabinet faces an immediate challenge, negotiating the 2026 budget in a divided parliament, as Lecornu seeks compromise without resorting to constitutional force.
