France’s political drama just hit peak Netflix-worthy chaos 🍿 as newly appointed Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned less than a day after unveiling his cabinet. The shock move leaves President Emmanuel Macron scrambling to stabilize a government that’s seen five PMs in two years – talk about job turnover! 💨
Why the Sudden Exit?
Lecornu, Macron’s handpicked ally, spent weeks negotiating with parties before announcing his ministerial lineup on October 5. But the cabinet became instant political kryptonite: left-wing critics called it too conservative ⚖️, while right-wingers demanded bolder reforms. The Elysee Palace confirmed the resignation with a terse statement, leaving Paris buzzing with speculation.
Macron’s House of Cards?
Since Macron’s 2022 re-election – which left no party holding a parliamentary majority – France’s politics have resembled a high-stakes game of Jenga 🎲. Last year’s snap elections only deepened divisions, with far-right leader Jordan Bardella now demanding fresh polls: “No stability without dissolving the National Assembly!” 🔥
As young professionals and students worldwide watch, this crisis could ripple through EU markets and global alliances. Stay tuned – in French politics, the only constant is plot twists! 🎢
