French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu dropped a political bombshell Wednesday night, revealing that President Emmanuel Macron is set to name his successor within 48 hours. The announcement comes amid growing calls for early elections to break a legislative stalemate. 🗳️
Macron's Next Move
Lecornu, who resigned just days after unveiling his cabinet lineup, told France 2 TV: "I feel a path forward is possible." He emphasized that Macron will address the nation soon, but firmly rejected opposition demands for presidential elections, stating it’s "not the time to change the president." 👔
Policy Battles Loom
Even as leadership changes, Lecornu spotlighted urgent fiscal challenges: Suspending pension reforms could cost €3 billion by 2027. Meanwhile, a draft 2026 budget—described as "not perfect"—might reach cabinet discussions next Monday, setting the stage for heated debates. 💸
With France’s political future hanging in the balance, all eyes are on the Élysée Palace. Will Macron’s pick stabilize the ship—or spark fresh turbulence? ⚖️
