France's prime minister resigns after less than a month in office

France's Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned less than 24 hours after forming his government, citing a failure to build consensus and plunging the nation into a political crisis. President Macron accepted the resignation, making Lecornu the fourth PM in a year. His brief tenure was marked by criticism of his ministerial appointments and France's ongoing debt crisis. The move has intensified calls for snap elections from the far-right and far-left, while financial markets reacted negatively. Ministers appointed by Lecornu now serve as caretakers.
