PARIS (Reuters) -Reappointed Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu on Saturday urged France's political parties to work together to put an end to the "ridiculous spectacle" seen in recent days, as he faces a Monday deadline to present a budget.
President Emmanuel Macron's decision to reappoint Lecornu has enraged some of his fiercest opponents, who argue the only way out of France's worst political crisis in decades is for the president to either call a fresh legislative election or resign.
