France's PM resigns after less than a month amid widespread criticism of new cabinet
"France's president, Emmanuel Macron, accepted the resignation of the prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu, the presidency said on Monday, plunging the country further into political deadlock. The largely unchanged cabinet lineup Macron announced late on Sunday was met with fierce criticism across the political spectrum. The new cabinet was unveiled nearly a month after the appointment of Lecornu, who sought to obtain cross-party support in a deeply divided parliament."
"Lecornu was Macron's seventh prime minister. He was appointed on 9 September amid a political crisis when his predecessor, Francois Bayrou, was dramatically ousted over proposed budget cuts. More details soon"
President Emmanuel Macron accepted Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu’s resignation, deepening political deadlock. Macron announced a largely unchanged cabinet late on Sunday that faced fierce criticism across the political spectrum. The new cabinet followed Lecornu’s appointment nearly a month earlier, when he sought cross-party support in a deeply divided parliament. Lecornu served as Macron’s seventh prime minister. He was appointed on 9 September amid a political crisis after predecessor Francois Bayrou was dramatically ousted over proposed budget cuts. The resignation compounds government instability and prolongs uncertainty over executive leadership.
