"I am counting on you to show the utmost restraint and humility,"
"Service is something that requires putting egos aside,"
"'Everyone's duty'"
Sébastien Lecornu, re-appointed after a brief resignation, will address a deeply divided parliament amid threats of censure and calls for snap elections. The minority government faces intense opposition from La France Insoumise and Rassemblement National after President Emmanuel Macron resisted bringing in new faces. Markets show concern about the government's ability to govern and manage France's debt burden.

Lecornu urged restraint, humility and putting egos aside to overcome the deadlock.
