The French PrimeMinister's Government, Sebastien Lecornu, has presented the partial list of new ministers.
Among those who will continue toform government are Bruno Retailleau, Minister of the Interior; Jean-Noel Barrot, Minister of Foreign Affairs; and Gerald Darmanin, Minister of Justice.
The major changes have come from the recovery of the macronists: Roland Lescure, who will be Finance Minister this time; and Bruno Le Maire, who will be Defence Minister.
Reactions have been immediate in the opposition, as both the left and the far right have criticized Lecornau's continuing stance .
It should be remembered that the Prime Minister has no full parliamentary support, so this is not trivial in the face of a possible motion of censure.
"The choice of this identical government, equipped with the men who brought France to bankruptcy, is pathetic," said the surprised Marine Le Pen.
In the next few days, all the names of the ministers who will form the French government team will be announced.
