**French Government in Crisis as Prime Minister Resigns After Contentious Cabinet Announcement**

**Paris, France** – Political turmoil has engulfed France as Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned on Monday, less than 24 hours after unveiling a new cabinet that drew widespread criticism. The move has sent shockwaves through the political establishment, triggering a sharp drop in the Paris stock market.

The resignation followed a barrage of criticism over the perceived lack of change and continuity within the government, with opposition parties and even members of the ruling coalition expressing deep dissatisfaction. François-Xavier Bellamy, Vice-President of the Republicans party, stated that his party has nothing to fear and can’t be blamed if there is an early election. David Lisnard, Mayor of Cannes (also of the Republicans), has called for President Macron to resign.

The Rassemblement National (RN), led by Jordan Bardella, called Macronism “dead” and demanded either a dissolution of parliament or the President’s resignation. Other political figures such as the leader of La France Insoumise (LFI) Jean-Luc Mélechon called for the immediate evaluation of a motion filed by 104 deputies for the ousting of President Macron.

The political instability has rattled investors, with the Paris Bourse experiencing a significant drop, particularly affecting major financial institutions like BNP Paribas and Crédit Agricole. The spread between French and German 10-year bond yields has widened, reflecting increased investor risk aversion.

The rapid turnover of prime ministers – Lecornu was appointed just months ago – has fueled a sense of crisis and paralysis within the French government. The question of censure is openly being debated, the socialist party are not denying they will vote to censure. The fate of President Macron’s agenda and the stability of the French government remain uncertain. The potential outcomes being debated are dissolving parliament or for President Macron to resign.
