Overview

• After his resignation was formally accepted, Sébastien Lecornu begins meetings at 09:00 with party leaders and the heads of both chambers to assess whether a compromise is still possible by Wednesday night.
• Emmanuel Macron signaled he may dissolve the National Assembly if talks fail and said a deal would not automatically return Lecornu to Matignon.
• The far‑right RN vowed to systematically censure any government until a dissolution or the president’s resignation, while LFI presses for Macron to quit and a motion to consider his removal is due for a procedural review on Wednesday.
• Les Républicains leader Bruno Retailleau, cited as pivotal in the government’s fall, was expected to skip the group meeting and seek bilateral talks with Lecornu, according to party sources.
• An Odoxa poll reported that 87% of respondents chiefly blame Macron for the impasse and 70% favor his resignation, as international coverage warns of economic and European fallout from prolonged instability.
