French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu named a cabinet Sunday, days after his reappointment and an earlier attempt that collapsed after 14 hours. Centrists Gérald Darmanin, Amélie de Montchalin and Jean-Noël Barrot stay on, while conservative Catherine Vautrin becomes armed forces minister; Annie Genevard and Rachida Dati remain at agriculture and culture. Roland Lescure stays at economy and finance and faces a deficit-cutting budget, with plans expected Monday. Paris police chief Laurent Nuñez becomes interior minister; former SNCF head Jean-Pierre Farandou takes labor. With far-right and far-left parties vowing to vote it down, the government's fate may rest with the Socialists.
