French President Emmanuel Macron has reappointed Sebastien Le Cornu as his prime minister just days after he quit the post.

It's the latest move in a year of political turmoil for France.

Macron made the announcement late on Friday, hours after meeting the main opposition parties, except for the leaders of the far left and the far right.

Le Cornu told French media there weren't many candidates for the job and he's working on what he hopes will be a free cabinet not imprisoned by the parties.

A reporter, Pierre Antoine Denis, been following the story.

A lot of shock still in France, because even if yes, there weren't many names to choose from, there was still no, maybe not expecting many people in France alongside the media were not expecting the Cornu to go again for season two, as they said in France.

And it goes even for right wing papers or left wing papers.

You have a figure much more of a conservative paper saying the political crisis continue.

And you also have an opinion piece in by the editor saying Emmanuel Macron is in self destruction mode, using the government as a hotel room service, having one prime minister after another.

And on the left side of the media spectrum you have liberation saying this is the defragmentation le ditment.

Because While less than 24 hours ago, he, as you said, met with all the parties who were potentially keen to form a coalition.

But it looked like that after two hours of talks, it was an absolute no breakthrough were there and there was no possibilities.

And all the parties left a little bit speechless as they said that there was no names from the left as they wanted to.

And then therefore Emmanuel Macron had to reappoint Sebastian Oconnel because it seems like he's at an impasse right now.

So what they've got to do now is table a new budget for next year and they haven't got much time.

They've actually made it harder for themselves.

What's important to remember here when it comes to France is that Sebastian, you had three weeks to form a team in which that team with him back then already tabled a budget, a proposition of a budget that would be less drastic.

That Francois Beirut, who he replaced earlier this year, and

that, that bill, that budget proposal has gone through to the French, the French public, public, economy, services.

Therefore, that means that on Monday, whether he has a team or not, there will be a budget proposal that will be examined by the authorities in France and then will be eventually voted by the.

What was interesting here is that this is a very unique situation where he will.

Emmanuel Macron and Sebastian Le Cornier has to present that budget as a whole team with his members, the government.

But we may not have a government by Monday, meaning there may just be these two men having to front it.

So they'll have to present something that could easily be knocked down.

And what happens if they meet the deadline and nothing is ready?

We'll be in situation where what we had last year, where Michel Barnier put a motion on the table, that motion was then voted for two or three months and we were in December when he had to resign because there was an absolute deadlock around the assembly.

Ultimately we're at a situation here, but

when you have the head of the economic commission in France saying, how could we change everything in 48 hours?

So this is why Sebastian o', Connor, I think, has been reappointed.
