The new French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu does not intend to delete two holidays. With that proposal, his predecessor had taken the anger of many French people. Lecornu wants to get the budget in order with “creative ways”.
In July, the now resigned Prime Minister François Bayrou said that “everyone should contribute” to savings. That meant, among other things, that two holidays would disappear in May, a month in which “there are simply too many holidays”.
But that plan does not continue his successor Lecornu, he told the La Provence and Ouest-France local newspapers on Saturday. Lecornu, who took office on Wednesday, should be the first big task to be approved for 2026.
Before that he goes looking for “creative ways” to work with rivals, he said in the interview. He indicated that the future budget “will not fully reflect his beliefs”. This seems to be prepared to make concessions to opposition parties, such as the Center-left socialist party and the radical-right Rassemblement National.
The new prime minister was also asked about the reduction of the credit status of France by assessor Fitch on Friday. He acknowledged that France “pays for instability”. He called it his ambition to prevent “instability and stagnation”.
Lecornu is the fifth prime minister in two years. His predecessor Bayrou resigned on Tuesday after he lost a motion of no confidence as a result of his plan to save 44 billion euros. With 5 percent, the French budget deficit is the highest within the EU. This week, tens of thousands of people protested against possible cuts throughout France.
