His appointment on Sunday aroused the indignation of the right -wing party (Les Republicins / LR), which sees in Bruno Le Maere a symbol of the budget skid of the last years of the Macronist government and which has consequently challenged its participation in the Government, reports Agerpres.

In less than 14 hours after the announcement regarding the composition of the government, immediately criticized and threatened with implosion, Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu presented his resignation to President Emmanuel Macron on Monday morning.

On Monday afternoon, the head of state finally asked Lecornu to undertake “until Wednesday evening the last negotiations”, according to the presidency.

Macron set it as an objective “to define an action and stability platform for the country”, a few hours only after the announcement of Lecornu's resignation during the morning.

The far right party RN reacted to the announcement of the resignation of Prime Minister Lecornu: “(President) Macron must now choose: Dissolve the Parliament or resign, and this quickly!”.
