"French Prime Sebastien Lecornu vowed he would finally appoint a new government by the beginning of October, adding that it was "out of the question" that he would propose an austerity budget, in an interview published Friday. Lecornu was named by President Emmanuel Macron to stabilise a political crisis on September 9 as the seventh premier of his mandate."
"He said his budget would foresee a budget deficit of 4.7 percent of GDP -- as opposed the the 4.6 percent proposed by Bayrou -- with this coming in line with three percent by 2029 in keeping with eurozone rules. Lecornu said he was "starting from scratch" from the previous administration to take into account his consultations with unions and political forces."
