đź”— Share this article The French PM Quits Following Under One Month Amid Widespread Backlash of New Government The French political crisis has worsened after the new prime minister suddenly stepped down within moments of forming a cabinet. Quick Resignation Amid Political Turmoil France's latest leader was the third French prime minister in a single year, as the nation continued to stumble from one political crisis to another. He quit hours before his initial ministerial gathering on the beginning of the workweek. France's leader accepted his resignation on the start of the day. Intense Opposition Over New Government Lecornu had faced furious criticism from political opponents when he presented a fresh cabinet that was mostly identical since last month's removal of his predecessor, the previous prime minister. The proposed new government was controlled by the president's allies, leaving the cabinet mostly identical. Political Reaction Political opponents said Lecornu had reversed on the "profound break" with previous policies that he had pledged when he came to power from the disliked previous leader, who was removed on 9 September over a planned spending cuts. Next Government Direction The issue now is whether the head of state will decide to terminate the legislature and call another sudden poll. Jordan Bardella, the president of the opposition figure's political movement, said: "It's impossible to have a restoration of calm without a return to the ballot box and the legislature's dismissal." He stated, "Obviously Emmanuel Macron who decided this government himself. He has misinterpreted of the political situation we are in." Election Calls The opposition movement has demanded another vote, thinking they can expand their seats and presence in parliament. The nation has gone through a period of uncertainty and political crisis since the president called an inconclusive snap election last year. The parliament remains divided between the main groups: the liberal wing, the conservative wing and the central bloc, with no definitive control. Budget Pressure A budget for next year must be agreed within weeks, even though political parties are at odds and the prime minister's term ended in under four weeks. Opposition Motion Factions from the progressive side to conservative wing were to hold gatherings on the start of the week to decide whether or not to approve to remove France's leader in a opposition challenge, and it appeared that the cabinet would fail before it had even started work. Lecornu apparently decided to leave before he could be dismissed. Ministerial Appointments Most of the major ministerial positions announced on Sunday night remained the same, including GĂ©rald Darmanin as legal affairs leader and Rachida Dati as culture minister. The responsibility of economic policy head, which is crucial as a fragmented legislature struggles to pass a budget, went to the president's supporter, a Macron ally who had earlier worked as industry and energy minister at the commencement of his current leadership period. Surprise Appointment In a unexpected decision, a longtime Macron ally, a government partner who had acted as economy minister for seven years of his term, was reappointed to administration as national security leader. This infuriated officials across the political divide, who viewed it as a indication that there would be no challenging or modification of the president's economic policies.
