Why French PM quit just hours after new cabinet reveal
France's Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned on Monday, hours after unveiling his new Cabinet. President Macron accepted his resignation, deepening the nation's political deadlock. Lecornu faced protests over spending cuts and pressure from opposition parties. He described himself as 'the weakest Prime Minister of the Fifth Republic' and vowed not to use Article 49.3 to push the budget.
