“The conditions were not fulfilled for me to carry on as prime minister,” Lecornu stated and slammed political parties’ reluctance to find deals.
The announcement came after Lecornu had an hour-long meeting with President Emmanuel Macron on Monday morning. Lecornu became the prime minister following the fall of the previous government of François Bayrou.
Why has French PM Sébastien Lecornu resigned?
According to Reuters, Lecornu’s government battled to secure enough parliamentary support to withstand an impending no-confidence vote. His failure to bring into effect Article 49.3, the contentious constitutional provision that allows measures to pass without a vote, further hampered his capacity to govern efficiently.
French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to launch consultations immediately to choose a replacement capable of gaining parliamentary approval.
His departure comes as France grapples with declining economic growth, rising energy bills, and ongoing pension reform demonstrations. The political void has the potential to derail important budget negotiations and significantly erode Macron’s domestic standing.
