Macron Calls for Stability With Another Government on the Brink

Emmanuel Macron called on France’s fractured parliament to deliver stability for the country rather than precipitate another government collapse.

The French president announced a new cabinet Sunday with his prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu, under intense pressure to defuse a long-running political crisis by passing a budget. But Macron’s refusal to offer broad concessions to political rivals has left his premier’s job in danger with opposition parties planning a no-confidence vote as soon as this week.
