In a tumultuous phase of his presidency, French President Emmanuel Macron witnessed his fifth prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu, resign amid political turmoil. Discontent surfaces over Lecornu's inability to form a lasting cabinet, leaving Macron confronted with choices that could alter France's political landscape.
Macron, striving to maintain power, tasked Lecornu with negotiating a breakthrough with opposition parties within two days. With alternatives dwindling, Macron is keen on avoiding fresh elections or resignation, offering the far-right National Rally party a potential victory — a scenario raising alarm in political circles.
Public opinion remains critical; nearly half the population blames Macron for the crisis, with many advocating for his resignation to resolve the deadlock.
