Macron relies on Lecornu: A prime minister in stormy times!
Things are getting exciting again in the French political landscape. Sébastien Lecornu was today reappointed Prime Minister by President Emmanuel Macron. This decision follows Lecornu's surprise resignation on October 6, 2025, just four weeks after taking office. Macron had promised to name a successor by October 10th, but now Lecornu remains on board and is expected to form a new cabinet RTL reported.
The pressure on the president is enormous. Lecornu himself expressed sharp criticism of the parties in parliament, which, in his opinion, are politically blocking the country. The center-right coalition, consisting of the Républicains and Macron's center alliance, does not have a majority in parliament, which further complicates the situation. On Sunday evening, Lecornu had already been sent into talks with the opposition, but resigned just a day later and caused a false report about his re-appointment Mirror notes.
An untenable situation
The political situation in France continues to deteriorate. Various attempts at agreement have so far failed and the future looks bleak. Macron is now faced with a choice of different options: a new prime minister, new elections or possibly even his own resignation, although this is considered very unlikely. “Macron's resignation would be a giving up and would hardly bring any new stability,” says political scientist Hélène Miard-Delacroix ZDF reported.
Meanwhile, support for Macron is waning. Gradually, long-time confidants are turning away from him, and the political fringes are loudly calling for new elections. The extreme right and conservative forces are distancing themselves from Lecornu, while the left side of the political landscape remains divided and unable to act. In the current situation, real political stability in France does not seem to be in sight.
The coming days will show whether Lecornu can win the opposition's trust or whether the political crisis will continue to escalate. In any case, things remain exciting in French politics, and many are wondering: How long will this situation last?
