Surprise Resignation: France's PM Lecornu Steps Down

In a surprising turn of events, France's newly appointed Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has resigned, the French presidency announced on Monday.

Lecornu's unexpected departure comes merely a day after he introduced his cabinet, ending a notably brief two-week stint in office.

President Emmanuel Macron accepted the resignation, though the reasons behind Lecornu's quick exit are still unknown, heightening speculation within political circles.
