France’s Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned on Monday, just 26 days after taking office. He met President Emmanuel Macron for an hour before stepping down. Lecornu’s cabinet faced heavy criticism in parliament, with many parties threatening to vote it down. His resignation comes after the collapse of François Bayrou’s government last month. Lecornu was France’s fifth prime minister in under two years amid political instability following a hung parliament in 2024. Parties are now calling for early elections, while Macron has said he will serve until 2027. Paris stocks fell after the news. (PC: India Today)
