Lecornu will now face the dual challenge of leading France out of the financial crisis while leading a government prepared for mass protests.
Sebastien Lecornu has been appointed the new Prime Minister of France.
Lecornu has held the post of Minister of the Armed Forces and is a loyal supporter of President Emmanuel Macron.
The choice of Lecornu, 39, shows Macron's determination not to go to new elections,
Macron was forced to appoint a fifth prime minister in less than two years after parliament dismissed Francois Bayrou nine months into office over his plans to ease the country's growing debt.
Lecornu will now face the dual challenge of leading France out of the financial crisis while leading a government prepared for mass protests.
The presidency announced today that Sébastien Lecornu has been tasked with "consulting" with the parties with the aim of "building essential agreements for decisions in the coming months."
" After these discussions, it will be the duty of the new Prime Minister to propose a government to the President of the Republic ," the statement continues.
Recall that before the vote of confidence, Bayrou warned lawmakers that his ouster would not solve the country's problems.
“ You have the power to overthrow the government, but you do not have the power to erase reality. Reality will remain ruthless: spending will continue to rise and the debt burden, already unbearable, will become heavier and more costly ,” he said.
