Resign and you will win. The French Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, held his first public event this Saturday after President Emmanuel Macron appointed him again as Prime Minister after presenting .
This same Saturday, hours after saying “yes” to the French leader again, Lecornu once again sent a message to the rest of the political parties. Specifically, he has winked at the left, raising the possibility of modifying the reform that delayed the retirement age. “All debates are possible, as long as they remain within a real and realistic framework, including on budgetary issues“, he indicated.
Despite everything, he has defended a government “free, not imprisoned by parties“Meanwhile, he has confessed that he is going to work to try to reach agreements regarding the budgets.
“Either the political forces help me and we work together to achieve it, or they don’t.. This is how we guarantee that there is a budget for social security by December 31,” he noted.
After what has happened in the last week, Lecornu believes that “what is ridiculous is the stagnation in which the entire political scene has been for several days” and has reiterated that his “mission” is to approve new budgets before December 31.
“At the beginning of the week it was clear to me: my mission was accomplished,” he said, before ensuring that the problem was that “there were not many candidates” for the position and he decided to continue in the position. “To be completely transparent, (…) I don’t have any agenda. My only ambition is to get out of this moment, which is objectively very difficult for everyone“, he added.
Lecornu, who will have a difficult time approving new Public Accounts, has tried to approach the rest of the parties, speaking of the need to improve “everyday security” and “the rejection of this violence that is growing in society” as a point that “can generate a broad consensus within the political class.”
