French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has resigned less than 24 hours after announcing his cabinet, marking the shortest tenure in modern French history. President Emmanuel Macron accepted the resignation on Monday morning, as confirmed by the Élysée Palace.
Lecornu"s cabinet faced significant criticism from various political factions, with some labeling it too conservative and others arguing it lacked necessary reforms. Appointed on September 9, Lecornu cited "partisan appetites" and a lack of compromise as reasons for his departure, amid concerns that his government would struggle to pass a contentious austerity budget for 2026.
This resignation intensifies the ongoing political turmoil in France. For more on similar situations, see recent developments regarding Lecornu"s brief time in office.
