French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu Resigns After Cabinet Criticized

President of the Ile-de-France region Valerie Pecresse attends a meeting at the Les Republicains party headquarters on October 6, 2025, in Paris, France. Earlier in the day, French President Emmanuel Macron accepted Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu's resignation, plunging the country further into political deadlock. Macron had appointed Lecornu last month, but the largely unchanged cabinet lineup unveiled late on October 5, 2025, drew fierce criticism across the political spectrum.
