France's re-appointed PM Lecornu calls for calm

France's newly reappointed prime minister acknowledged Saturday that there weren't a lot of candidates for his job - and that he might not last long in the post given the country's deep political divides.

Sebastien Lecornu, renamed by President Emmanuel Macron late Friday after a week of political chaos, called for calm and for the support of political parties to produce a budget for the European Union's No. 2 economy before looming deadlines.

His appointment is seen as Macron's last chance to reinvigorate his second term, which runs until 2027. His centrist camp lacks a majority in the National Assembly and he is facing increasing criticism even within its ranks.
