French President Emmanuel Macron is expected to appoint a new prime minister within 48 hours following the government's swift resignation. Outgoing Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu has presented findings indicating a path forward on budget adoption and stability, though acknowledging difficulties. Macron faces the challenge of forming a new government without a parliamentary majority, with potential options including a center-left leader, which could risk policy changes. Meanwhile, calls for new elections persist from the far right.
