Prime Minister Resigns Less Than a Day After Appointment
France has plunged into a deep political crisis after newly appointed Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned less than 24 hours after forming his cabinet. The sudden move sent shockwaves through President Emmanuel Macron’s administration and sparked widespread debate about the future of the government.
Macron Calls for Urgent Talks
President Macron accepted Lecornu’s resignation and called on political parties for urgent consultations. He emphasized the need for unity to contain the fallout from the government’s collapse and preserve stability in the country. However, the opposition argues that Macron’s policies have weakened the government and deepened divisions within society.
Mounting Pressure on Macron
Opposition parties and sections of the public are demanding Macron’s political accountability, stressing that he has lost the people’s trust. Recent polls show the president’s popularity continuing to decline, while right-wing forces in France are gaining strength.
Possible Outcomes – Resignation or Early Elections
Political analysts suggest that the current crisis could mark a turning point in Macron’s presidency. If he fails to restore public confidence and stabilize his government, the next logical step might be early parliamentary elections—or even Macron’s own resignation.
France’s Future Uncertain
The future of France’s leadership remains unclear. In the coming days, key decisions will determine whether Macron can hold on to power or will be forced to step down, acknowledging the seriousness of the political crisis.
