Lecornu met with President Emmanuel Macron for an hour on Monday morning before submitting his resignation to the Elysée palace. "The conditions were not fulfilled for me to carry on as prime minister," Lecornu said in a statement, criticizing the unwillingness of political parties to reach compromises.
