French PM Sébastien Lecornu resigns after less than a month in role
- French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned on October 6, 2025, in Paris, hours after unveiling his new cabinet.
- Lecornu's resignation followed weeks of consultations across political parties and criticism over his largely unchanged cabinet lineup.
- The political crisis deepened due to a fragmented parliament and no party holding a majority since President Macron's 2022 reelection.
- Critics, including Jordan Bardella and Marine Le Pen, called the cabinet 'all about continuity' and 'pathetic,' while Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said it lacks promised change.
- Lecornu's resignation escalates France's political deadlock, prompting calls for a parliamentary dissolution and contributing to a 1.7% drop in the Paris stock exchange.
