"marriage is the basis for building a family in our societies. And a family is built between a man and a woman."
Sébastien Lecornu was named France's prime minister on 9 September by President Emmanuel Macron. Lecornu is a Macron loyalist and his appointment signals an attempt to broaden a minority government rather than shift toward the centre-left. Lecornu, 39, becomes the fifth prime minister under Macron in less than two years following the ousting of Francois Bayrou amid efforts to address crippling public debt. France's public debt reached €3.3tn, about 114% of GDP. Lecornu opposed same-sex marriage in 2012, stating that "gay communitarianism frustrates [him] as much as homophobia" and asserting that marriage is built between a man and a woman. After his appointment he posted priorities including defense of independence, service to the French people, and political and institutional stability.
