French PM Lecornu announces new cabinet

French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu on Sunday evening unveiled the lineup of his new government, comprising a total of 34 ministers, according to the Presidency. He met with President Emmanuel Macron at the Elysee Palace earlier in the evening, according to local media reports.

He proposed "a mix of civil society figures with experience and young parliamentarians" for the second edition of his government. Lecornu had resigned on Monday, less than a month after his initial appointment and just one day after announcing part of his first cabinet. He was reappointed as prime minister on Friday amid ongoing political tensions.
