Prime
Minister Sébastien Lecornu of France resigned on Monday less than 24 hours
after forming his cabinet, a move that caught the nation by surprise and made
his government one of the shortest-lived in modern French history.
The
resignation of Mr. Lecornu, which was confirmed by a statement from the French
presidency, came amid turmoil over the composition of his cabinet, an uneasy
coalition of centrists and conservatives.
It also
came amid growing concern that Mr. Lecornu, who was appointed less than a month
ago, would not be able to get a budget passed by the end of the year.
The
resignation will most likely ratchet up the pressure from opposition parties
who want President Emmanuel Macron to call snap parliamentary elections.
In its
statement, the French presidency said that Mr. Macron had accepted Mr.
Lecornu’s resignation.
