‘Lecornu speaks to everyone: Seasoned politician rooted in public service’ on local, national level

France’s new Prime Minister, Sébastien Lecornu, has vowed a “profound break” from past politics as he takes on the daunting task of forming a government with enough parliamentary support to steer the country out of its political crisis. Among President Macron’s Renaissance party members is Éléonore Caroit, MP for French citizens in Latin America and the Caribbean. She tells Carys Garland she’s “confident the new PM might actually pass a budget and have a plan within the next month.” Solange Mougin and Antonia Kerrigan, reporting from the field, join us for historical context and a world of perspective.
