Embattled French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu to give a high-stakes speech to a divided parliament on Tuesday, with two parties already trying to topple his government.
France, the eurozone’s second-largest economy, is in a political crisis that has spooked markets and raised concern about its minority government’s ability to govern and pass measures to ease the country’s debt burden.
After a week of drama that saw Lecornu resign only to be re-appointed days later, the 39-year-old prime minister has urged his new cabinet to do everything to help France overcome the deadlock.
Lecornu was on Tuesday morning meeting Macron, who has returned from a summit in Egypt aiming to find an end to the Gaza war.
