France protest: New PM faces protest on day 1, third PM in a year takes office
France Block Everything: New French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has vowed a ‘profound break’ from previous politics after taking over from centrist François Bayrou, who was ousted this week over a proposed budget squeeze. At 39, Lecornu emphasizes ‘humility’ as his guiding principle but faces the challenge of securing parliamentary support to pass a budget, or risk being removed like Bayrou and former right-wing PM Michel Barnier, who lasted just three months.
