Political Turmoil in France: The Resignation of Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu

The recent resignation of French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has caused a stir in the political landscape. Lecornu, who took office less than a month ago, stepped down from his position following a wave of criticism. His predecessor, François Bayrou, also had a short-lived tenure, lasting only nine months before resigning in December 2024. Lecornu had recently announced a new cabinet, which closely resembled Bayrou's, but faced backlash from various political factions.
