France in Political Turmoil as Prime Minister Resigns After Just 27 Days

  • 06/10/2025

France has been plunged into a fresh political crisis following the sudden resignation of Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu after just 27 days in the role. His decision, announced after a meeting with President Emmanuel Macron, came even before his newly announced cabinet had completed a full day in office. This marks the fifth time a French prime minister has resigned in the last two years, highlighting the country's profound political instability.

The resignation is set against a backdrop of a severe economic crisis and widespread parliamentary dissatisfaction with failed austerity measures. In the wake of Lecornu's departure, Jordan Bardella, President of the National Rally party, has called for the dissolution of the National Assembly, arguing that new elections are the only way to achieve stability. The incoming prime minister's most immediate and significant challenge would have been to secure parliamentary approval for the following year's austerity budget.

France's political instability is compounded by a dire economic situation. The country has the third-highest debt-to-GDP ratio in the European Union, trailing only Greece and Italy. This combination of a revolving-door government and a severe financial crunch presents one of the most significant challenges for France in recent years.
