French President Emmanuel Macron gave time until Wednesday, the outgoing Prime Minister Sebastien Lecorn for the conversations of the last chance with political parties. Lecorn resigned on Monday morning, just a dozen or so hours after presenting the initial composition of his government.
According to the Elysee Palace in a press release, the president entrusted Lecorn, who after resignation manages current matters, the task of “final negotiations, in order to define the plane for activities and stability for the country.”
On Tuesday morning Lecorn will meet with political parties. He informed that he had accepted the president's request to conduct recent discussions with political forces.
“I will tell the head of the state on Wednesday evening whether it is possible or not, so that he can draw all the conclusions flowing from it,” wrote Lecorn on the X platform.
The AFP agency reported, citing Macron's surroundings, that the head of state in the event of a failure of these conversations would “take responsibility”. The agency estimates that this means that the risk of resolving parliament and early elections is maintained.
However, the last mission entrusted to Lecorn also shows that Macron would prefer to avoid this scenario. The president dissolved the parliament in the spring of 2024 and now, after the passage of over a year, again – according to the constitution – he can do so. As a result of last year's early elections, a very crushed parliament was created, in which no party can establish a stable government.
Lecorn, after the morning resignation, returned to the Elysee Palace on Tuesday afternoon, which fueled the guesses that he could be appointed again, to which the president has the right to. Lecorn also met with the chairman of the French Senate Gerard Larcher, an influential politician of the right -wing party Republicans.
It was the tension between the Macron's center political camp and the Republicans around the government's composition that lecorn resigned, attacked not only by the opposition, but also forces that were to co -create his office. One of the controversies was the invitation to the Lecorn office of the former finance minister Bruno Le Maire. On Monday, Le Maire announced that he was withdrawing completely from participating in the government.
Lecorn was appointed as a prime minister on September 9. On Sunday evening he announced an incomplete composition of the government. Over the previous weeks, he negotiated with political parties the conditions under which his minority office would support. It was in particular a compromise on the budget for 2026, which was to contain savings activities to master a high budget deficit and public debt. From the beginning, part of the opposition announced that he did not support the Lecorn government, and threatened the vote of no confidence.
