Overview

• Sébastien Lecornu submitted his resignation Monday morning and the Élysée accepted it, ending a 27‑day premiership before any policy speech.
• The government announced Sunday night—largely a recycling of prior ministers—lasted roughly 12 to 14 hours, with the return of Bruno Le Maire singled out by opponents.
• Bruno Retailleau said the lineup did not deliver the promised rupture, as LR pressed for about one‑third of posts and signaled possible withdrawal.
• Left parties prepared censure motions despite Lecornu’s pledge to forgo Article 49.3, with PS and LFI leaders publicly committing to challenge the government.
• The turmoil spurred calls for a dissolution from RN’s Jordan Bardella, LFI calls for Macron’s departure, and a near 2% drop on the Paris stock market, leaving next steps uncertain.
