The French PM Resigns Following Under One Month Amidst Widespread Condemnation of Freshly Appointed Ministers

The French political turmoil has intensified after the freshly installed PM suddenly stepped down within hours of forming a cabinet.

Swift Departure During Political Instability

The prime minister was the third premier in a year-long span, as the nation continued to move from one parliamentary instability to another. He resigned moments before his first cabinet meeting on Monday afternoon. The president received his resignation on Monday morning.

Furious Backlash Over New Government

France's leader had faced furious criticism from political opponents when he announced a new government that was virtually unchanged since last recent removal of his predecessor, his predecessor.

The proposed new government was dominated by Macron's supporters, leaving the administration mostly identical.

Opposition Criticism

Opposition parties said the prime minister had backtracked on the "major shift" with earlier approaches that he had vowed when he assumed office from the disliked Bayrou, who was dismissed on the ninth of September over a planned spending cuts.

Next Political Course

The issue now is whether the president will decide to terminate the legislature and call another sudden poll.

Jordan Bardella, the leader of the opposition figure's political movement, said: "It's impossible to have a return to stability without a fresh vote and the legislature's dismissal."

He added, "Obviously France's leader who chose this administration himself. He has understood nothing of the political situation we are in."

Election Demands

The far-right party has advocated for another election, believing they can increase their positions and role in the legislature.

The country has gone through a period of instability and political crisis since the centrist Macron called an inconclusive snap election last year. The assembly remains divided between the main groups: the left, the far right and the centre, with no clear majority.

Financial Deadline

A financial plan for next year must be passed within a short time, even though government factions are at disagreement and the prime minister's term ended in barely three weeks.

No-Confidence Motion

Political groups from the left to conservative wing were to hold gatherings on the start of the week to decide whether or not to vote to remove Lecornu in a no-confidence vote, and it looked that the government would fail before it had even begun operating. The prime minister apparently decided to leave before he could be ousted.

Cabinet Appointments

The majority of the major ministerial positions revealed on Sunday night remained the unchanged, including Gérald Darmanin as judicial department head and arts and heritage leader as culture minister.

The responsibility of economic policy head, which is crucial as a divided parliament struggles to agree on a spending package, went to the president's supporter, a government partner who had earlier worked as industry and energy minister at the commencement of the president's latest mandate.

Surprise Appointment

In a surprise move, a longtime Macron ally, a Macron ally who had served as economic policy head for an extended period of his presidency, returned to cabinet as defence minister. This enraged leaders across the spectrum, who considered it a sign that there would be no doubt or alteration of his corporate-friendly approach.
