Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned on 06 October, just hours after unveiling his new cabinet, deepening France’s political crisis. Appointed 27 days prior following the collapse of the Bayrou government, Lecornu lacked the necessary parliamentary majority and faced immediate no-confidence threats from opposition parties across the political spectrum. President Emmanuel Macron accepted the resignation, Lecornu’s fifth PM in two years, citing “absence of stability.” The move underscores the growing legislative deadlock over the critical 2026 budget, raising market uncertainty (French stocks and the Euro declined sharply) and fueling urgent calls for snap parliamentary elections.
