France has a new squad as Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu rolled out his revamped cabinet on Sunday. Presidential Secretary General Emmanuel Moulin made the big reveal, and the lineup brings some familiar faces and fresh names.
Elisabeth Borne swaps roles to become minister of national education 🎓, while Manuel Valls takes charge of overseas territories 🏝️. Another surprise move: Bruno Le Maire shifts from finance to defense, stepping onto a new battlefield of budgets and strategy.
Finance gets new leadership with Roland Lescure, a Macron ally, stepping in to handle the purse strings 💼. Key players like Jean-Noel Barrot at foreign affairs and Bruno Retailleau at the interior ministry stay on, keeping some stability in the mix.
The real test comes fast: negotiating the 2026 budget in a split parliament. Lecornu is aiming for compromise rather than wielding constitutional shortcuts. Can this team pull off a political breakthrough or will it hit roadblocks? Stay tuned as France writes its next chapter! 📖✌️
