Morning bird: France introduced a new government. A foreign horse won the Grand Pardubice, after thirty years
Question marks hang over new government in France
The French President Emmanuel Macron announced a new composition of the cabinet of Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu on Sunday, with most of the top positions remaining unchanged at a time when opponents are demanding political change to gain support for difficult budget negotiations.
Lecornu, who was reappointed Prime Minister last week after a previous stint that lasted just 27 days, promised to create a cabinet of "renewal and diversity", but stuck with his previous candidates for most of the selected positions. The far-left party Unsubmissive France announced that on Monday it will submit a motion of no confidence, as well as the far-right National Assembly, which means that the new government will face a vote by the end of the week, in which its support is far from guaranteed, reported the CNN.
An Irish horse won the Grand Pardubice
The most famous Czech horse racing event got a new winner on Sunday. For the first time in over a century of the race, an Irish horse came in first place. The last time The Grand Pardubice had a foreign winner was in 1995. Stumpton managed to outrun High In The Skye ridden by jockey Faltýsek who would have tied the record of eight wins by Josef Váňa with another triumph. However, it was Stumptown who won the five-million reward, as reported by ČTK.
