The next French government will have to reflect the composition of the National Assembly, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said on Saturday (October 11, 2025) after his reappointment.
“We need a government that reflects the reality of parliament but is not held hostage to partisan interests,” Mr. Lecornu told journalists after a visit to a police station in L’Hay-les-Roses, a suburb south of Paris.
Asked about the potential suspension of France’s pension reform, Lecornu said “all debates are possible as long as they are realistic”.
