French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu announced his resignation just 14 hours after the appointment of his cabinet, an act that provoked a negative reaction in the financial markets and deepened the political crisis in France, leading to a 1.5% drop in the Parisian CAC 40 index.

Sébastien Lecornu, appointed Prime Minister of France on September 9, resigned on Monday morning, shortly after presenting the new cabinet, which sparked criticism from allies and the opposition. His unexpected resignation marks a new deepening of the political crisis, in a context where parliament is fragmented. Rassemblement National has called for early elections, and financial markets reacted negatively, with a drop in the CAC 40 index. Lecornu thus becomes Macron's fifth prime minister in two years, highlighting the political instability in France.
