On October 6, French President Emmanuel Macron accepted the resignation of Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, the presidential office said.
The resignation of French Prime Minister Sebastian Lecornu has pushed the European country into a deeper political deadlock.
French Prime Minister Sebastian Lecornu resigned a few hours after announcing his cabinet on October 5, which was almost unchanged, unable to bring the country out of the political crisis.
Lecornu was appointed French Prime Minister nearly a month ago. The new cabinet has faced fierce criticism across all political spectrum.
Before the announcement of Prime Minister Lecornu's resignation, he was scheduled to be present at the Elysee Palace at 4:00 p.m. on October 6 to attend the first meeting with the Council of Ministers and President Emmanuel Macron, along with 18 ministers appointed to the government on October 5.
Sebastien Lecornu, 39, was appointed French Prime Minister on the evening of September 9, the 7th prime minister during Macron's presidency. Before becoming prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu was Minister of the Armed Forces, focusing on France's response to the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
