YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Outgoing Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu said he made progress in negotiations with France’s parliamentary groups and expects President Emmanuel Macron to be in a position to name a new premier in the next 48 hours.

“There are possibilities for a compromise in parliament,” Lecornu said on France 2 television Wednesday. “There is an absolute majority in the National Assembly that rejects a new dissolution.”

Macron tasked Lecornu, who formally resigned as premier Monday, to try to reach an accord with the political groups that could lead to a new cabinet. Failure would mean Macron would either have to call a new election, appoint a new prime minister or resign — something he’s previously rejected.
