Emmanuel Macron has on Friday gathered a majority of the parties in the National Assembly to try to bring forth a prime minister that the parliament can accept.
"I accept – for it is my duty – the task that the President of the Republic has entrusted me to do", writes Lecornu on X.
He writes that he will do everything he can to get a budget through before the end of the year and "take care of our fellow citizens' daily problems”.
”We must put an end to this political crisis that irritates the French people and this instability that is bad for the image of France and its interests”, he continues.
France has been politically paralyzed since the far-right advanced and won more seats in the National Assembly in the election last year.
Last time he got the chance, he did not even last a month in the post, but announced his resignation after failing to both form a government and get a budget through.
