Sebastien Lecornu has tendered his resignation to French President Emmanuel Macron, who has accepted it . The Elysée Palace announced this.
Appointed on September 9, yesterday evening he revealed part of the composition of his government, attracting criticism from the opposition and the right for the presence of numerous exponents of the previous executive .
He was supposed to deliver his general policy statement to the Assembly on Tuesday. A staunch Macronian, Lecornu, having established that he lacked a majority in Parliament, resigned. "The conditions for him to remain prime minister were not there ," he said.
A mandate that lasted just 27 days, making Lecornu the Prime Minister with the shortest term in history , highlights Le Figaro.
Following the announcement of his resignation, Jordan Bardella of the National Rally called on President Emmanuel Macron to dissolve the National Assembly. Marine Le Pen made the same request: "We're at the end of the road. We're at the end of the joke; the farce has gone on long enough," she said, calling on Macron to dissolve Parliament and call early elections .
France thus remains in political chaos . Former Prime Minister Francois Bayrou, ousted by Parliament, resigned on September 9.
