Political Turmoil in France: Lecornu's Swift Resignation Shakes Government

France faced a political upheaval on Monday when new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned just hours after announcing his cabinet lineup. The abrupt decision compounded the country's ongoing political crisis, sending shockwaves through European markets, as it impacted stocks and the euro negatively.

This resignation came amid mounting pressures from both allies and opposition seeking to destabilize the new government. As Macron's fifth prime minister in two years, Lecornu's departure after only 27 days emphasizes the unprecedented instability plaguing the French government.

Within the divided parliament, unrest and calls for a snap election or presidential resignation grew louder. Macron, with a mandate until 2027, faces a challenging political climate, as further complications are anticipated in navigating the turbulent political landscape.
