Khaberni - The French President, Emmanuel Macron, on Friday evening, reappointed Sebastian Le Cornu as Prime Minister, according to a statement from the Elysee.

This comes after Le Cornu resigned from his position, following criticisms of the government's composition.

Previously, French President Emmanuel Macron had tasked Le Cornu (39 years old) with forming a new government last month after the parliament ousted Francois Bayrou's government over an austerity budget project.

A few days ago, the Elysee Palace announced Le Cornu's government lineup. However, he soon faced criticism for including ministers from the previous government, before he tendered his resignation to Macron.

After being reappointed today, French experts believe that the Prime Minister will face significant burdens both domestically and internationally, especially in the context of the current political crisis, strong expectations from the public, and the need to regain trust.

The biggest challenge remains how the Prime Minister will balance political stability, economic reforms, and pressures from parliamentary groups, according to the French newspaper "La Nouvelle Republique".
