France Awaits New PM to End Political Crisis!

Reported by Marian Opeyemi Fasesan | Sele Media Africa

France is on edge as the country awaits President Emmanuel Macron’s announcement of a new prime minister following the resignation of Sebastien Lecornu, deepening an already tense political climate.

What Happened

• Lecornu resigned amid ongoing political instability and pressure from opposition parties.
• The resignation comes just months after a fragile coalition government struggled to pass key reforms.
• President Macron now faces the challenge of appointing a new premier capable of uniting the political spectrum and restoring stability.

Why It Matters

• The uncertainty is affecting investor confidence and delaying key legislative decisions.
• France’s position within the EU and its ability to lead on major international issues may be weakened if the political impasse persists.

What’s Next

• Macron has until the end of the week to announce a successor.
• Analysts say a centrist or technocratic candidate may be favoured to calm tensions across party lines.
