Block Everything: Macron’s PM pick adds to anger

Sebastien Lecornu, picked by President Emmanuel Macron to be France’s fifth prime minister in two years, took office on a day of sprawling anti-government protests on Wednesday that underlined the depth of the country’s political crisis. Reporting from a protest in Paris, France 24’s Antonia Kerrigan says that many of the demonstrators there feel that Macron’s choice of Lecornu, a centre-right loyalist from his own party, only adds to their sense that the president is ignoring the wishes of the public.
