Macron on 'last chance' as he clears way for latest PM
The Independent
|October 10, 2025
French president Emmanuel Macron is set to name his sixth prime minister in less than two years, hoping the new appointment can navigate a budget through a deeply divided legislature.
An announcement from Mr Macron’s office yesterday said a new premier would be named within 48 hours. This follows two days of intensive talks, led by outgoing prime minister Sebastien Lecornu, aimed at resolving France's most severe political crisis in decades.
This political paralysis has made the passage of a belt-tightening budget exceptionally challenging, a situation exacerbated by investors' growing concerns over France's expanding deficit.
Government spokesperson Aurore Berge told RTL radio: “The question that is posed today is whether there are enough people who are responsible.” She warned: “I think this is the last chance.”
