French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned just 27 days after taking office, making him the shortest-serving prime minister in the Fifth Republic’s history. Lecornu, appointed by President Emmanuel Macron after François Bayrou’s government collapsed, said at a press conference, “Being prime minister is a challenging task, but if the conditions are not met, you cannot be a prime minister.” He explained that his efforts to form a parliamentary majority and address key issues such as security, unemployment, and tax reform had failed to gain sufficient support. Lecornu also criticized the lack of compromise among political parties, saying, “Each party wants the entire program of the other.” His resignation has reignited tensions in the French parliament and raised calls for early elections.
