Government of France
The government of France, officially the Government of the French Republic (French: Gouvernement de la République française, fr), or the Fifth Republic (Cinquième République), is a semi-presidential system determined by the French Constitution of the French fifth Republic of 1958. The nation declares itself to be "an indivisible, secular, democratic, and social Republic" in it.
The constitution provides for a separation of powers in France. It proclaims France's "attachment to the Rights of Man and the principles of national sovereignty defined by the Declaration of 1789". France has 3 branches of government. These are the executive (President and Prime Minister), legislative (a Bicameral Parliament: National Assembly and Senate of France), and judiciary (independent courts) branches.[1]
Sébastien Lecornu was again appointed prime minister and took office on the second week of October 2025.[2] Earlier that month, he resigned (gave up his job) as prime minister.[3]
There were some new ministers earlier in October:
- Defense minister (changed in October 2025; [However, the government changed later that month])[4]
- Economy minister (since October 2025)[5]
