URGENT: French Prime Minister Lecornu Abruptly Resigns After Just 25 Days in Office.

Breaking News: French Prime Minister Lecornu Resigns After Just 25 Days in Office French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has resigned, effective immediately, after less than a month in office. The Elysée palace announced the decision on Monday morning, following an hour-long meeting between Lecornu and President Emmanuel Macron. Lecornu's resignation comes just 26 days after he was appointed prime minister, replacing François Bayrou. His cabinet, unveiled on Sunday, faced fierce criticism from parties across the National Assembly, who threatened to vote it down. The instability in French politics has been ongoing since July 2024, when snap parliamentary elections resulted in a hung parliament. This has made it difficult for any prime minister to garner support to pass bills and the yearly budget. Several parties are now calling for early elections, with some also demanding Macron's resignation. However, Macron has consistently stated he will not stand down before his term ends in 2027.
