In the morning all the eyes are on France, which has been immersed once again into political turmoil after Sebastian Lecorni has known his resignation by serving as prime minister of the country for only 27 days while his government lasted 14 hours.
After weeks of consultations with all political parties, Lecorne, a close ally of Emmanuel Macron, appointed his ministers on Sunday and were about to hold their first meeting on Monday afternoon. However, his choices were criticized by the entire political spectrum and were described as overly right or not so raising concerns about how long it would last.
Sebastian Lekorni’s short term in office, however, indicates the depth of the political crisis that has hit France.
“I was ready to compromise, but every political party wanted the other political party to adopt his entire program,” he said in a speech in the Palace Palace. He insisted that he had worked for weeks to chart a sustainable course between social partners, trade unions and politicians across the range. He stressed that his promise not to promote legislation without parliamentary vote was a significant rupture with previous years and should have been important enough for opposition politicians to support him.
Macron’s choices
Lecorne’s resignation means that now Macron has Three possible action paths and all are dangerousnotes Mutztaba Rahman, Managing Director for Europe at Eurasia Group.
Specifically, he writes about Macron’s choices.
Initially, it can appoint a new prime minister, possibly a higher non -political personality or technocratic, to try to promote a budget for the next year that will reduce the growing deficit of France’s budget.
Secondly, it can call new parliamentary elections.
Or he can resign himself and call early presidential elections scheduled for April – May 2027.
As the second and third option could lead Marin Lepen’s far -right party to power, Macron is likely to appoint a new prime minister and try to re -achieve some kind of compromise in France’s fragmented parliament, Rahman adds.
According to the Associated Press, Lecorne’s resignation means that ministers appointed last night are now in the strange situation to become official ministers while remaining in place only to manage daily affairs until a new government is formed – before some of them are officially taken over.
How did the country get here
Macron has already changed five prime ministers since 2022. The roots of the current political crisis can be identified in Macron’s decision to call parliamentary elections in the summer of 2024.
The elections attributed a fragmented parliament, where both the far -right and the far -left have a significant influence. What complicates things is the fact that politicians in France are not used to building coalitions and reaching consensus.
It is recalled that Michel Barnier tried, but was overthrown by parliament last December for the proposed cuts in the 2025 budget. His successor, Francois Bairou, managed to pass his 2025 legislation, but was dismissed last month.
Reactions to the resignation of the Lecorni
OR Marin Lepen, head of far -right party National alarm commented after lecorn’s resignation: “I call on the President of the Republic to dismantle the National Assembly … This joke has continued quite a bit, the farce must end.”
Jean-Lyk Melanson, of the far-left party “disobedient France” wrote on social media: “After the resignation of Sebastian Lekorni, we call for an immediate examination of the proposal submitted by 104 MPs for the referral of Emmanuel Macron.”
Bruno Retaur, outgoing French Interior Minister and head of the right -wing Les Republicains said: “If there is a deadlock, then we should return to the constituency. But I think there are other ways before we get to it. It’s just not my decision on these ways. “
