French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu Resigns

French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has resigned, intensifying political pressure on President Emmanuel Macron. Lecornu’s departure comes amid growing challenges for Macron’s administration, including difficulties in securing a stable majority in parliament. The resignation raises speculation that Macron may call snap parliamentary elections to try to strengthen his government’s position. Lecornu, who had served as prime minister since mid-2024, faced mounting criticism over his handling of key domestic issues and the government’s legislative agenda. His resignation signals a significant shift in France’s political landscape, as Macron seeks to navigate a fragmented parliament and public discontent. The move is seen as a strategic moment for Macron to potentially reset his administration and address ongoing political instability. The outcome of any early elections could reshape France’s governance and influence the country’s policy direction in the coming months.
