Faced with two censorship motions and the timely presentation of the draft budget, Lecornu's main challenges
The re-elected prime minister has days ahead of him and it remains to be seen whether the newly elected second government of Lecornu will be able to continue working. The key will be held by the Socialist Party, whose motions have been registered by the National Assembly and the Insumisa France.
Lecornu meets members of his government before the First Council of Ministers.
French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu will have to pass two motions of censure in the next few days if he wants to continue working. Marine Le Pen's National Assembly and Jean-Luc Mélenchon's Insumisa France have registered two motions in the National Assembly 24 hours before Lecornu presents his programme and put the new government in jeopardy.
The two extremist parties in Parliament announced their intention to overthrow Lecornu's second government immediately after Macron's re-election as prime minister.
So the Socialist Party now holds the keyto the continuation of Lecornu.
The Socialist Party wants the pension reform adopted in 2023 to be rejected, and it calls for a clear commitment not to use Article 49.3 of the French Constitution, which allows laws to be adopted by decree but opens the door to an immediate motion of censure, which is the formula used to approve pension reform.
On Monday, Lecornu gathered the 34 members of the new government at the Matignon Palace, on the eve of the Ministers ' Council on Tuesday morning, at which he informed the ministers that "overcoming the political crisis is the only mission " of this government and thanked them for their commitment "in these difficult times".
The Council of Ministers on Tuesday morning shall put on the table the two draft state and social security budgets so that they may be forwarded to Parliament on time.
