Sébastien Lecornu resigned to President Emmanuel Macron, barely 14 hours after announcing the composition of his government, and only 27 days after his appointment to Matignon. A first in the history of the Fifth Republic.
Under pressure from the opposition, which threatened to table a motion of censure, and in the face of controversy around some ministers, including Bruno Le Maire in Defense, Lecornu considered that the conditions « were not together » to govern.
This crisis revives Emmanuel Macron's calls for dismissal, notably from Mathilde Panot, who supports a petition to this effect. Lecornu was the fifth head of government appointed by Macron in two years.
