French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu Resigns After Cabinet Criticized
Right-wing European Conservatives and Reformists (ECR) Member of the European Parliament (MEP) Marion Marechal is seen in front of the Les Republicains party headquarters after a meeting 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.
