Emmanuel Macron’s decision to reappoint Sébastien Lecornu as prime minister on Friday evening after his resignation last Monday intensifies France’s political turmoil.

Macron’s critics see it as a symbol of his reluctance to share power amid a divided parliament.

With a looming budget crisis and record-low approval, the French president faces growing anger and a crisis of credibility.
