In Lecornu’s new cabinet, Jean-Noel Barrot remains as foreign minister, while outgoing Labour Minister Catherine Vautrin takes on the defence portfolio, according to a lineup published by the president’s office on Sunday. Roland Lescure, a Macron loyalist, will serve as economy minister. There were also new faces.” (10/12/25)
