"The frantic effort, which began on Tuesday, will see Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu seeking two days of talks with parliamentary figures, just a day after he tendered his resignation over the rejection of his proposed cabinet. That snub, which came from allies and rivals alike, and Lecornu's announcement that he would quit after just 27 days, have stoked the political crisis bubbling beneath President Emmanuel Macron since the 2024 snap elections."
"Now, in a move that has caused confusion among lawmakers and the public, Lecornu has accepted a request from Macron that he hold talks to try to find a way out of the deadlock. Lecornu, whose 14-hour administration was the shortest in modern French history, was scheduled on Tuesday morning to meet several members of the conservative Republicans and the centre-right Renaissance parties the so-called common platform to see if they could agree on a new cabinet."
Sebastien Lecornu resigned after his proposed cabinet was rejected by allies and rivals, intensifying a political crisis that followed the 2024 snap elections. Macron asked Lecornu to hold two days of talks with parliamentary figures to try to find a way out of the deadlock and define a platform of action and stability by Wednesday evening, according to the Elysee Palace. Lecornu's short-lived 14-hour administration is the shortest in modern French history, and his announced 27-day tenure has prompted surprise, calls for Macron to step aside, and suggestions of an early presidential election.
