Lecornu bemoans lack of compromise across political spectrum as he resigns as French PM – Europe live | World news
Lecornu blames the lack of reconciliation in the political range
Sébastien Lecornu spoke to journalists about an hour after he announced his resignation.
“I was ready to compromise, but every political party asked him to adopt the entire program of the other political party.
He insisted that he worked for weeks to create a suitable way between social partners, trade unions and politicians from all over the spectrum. He stressed that the promise of not pushing the legislation without the parliamentary vote was a major break in the past years and that opposition politicians should be important enough for him to support him.
“Work would take very little time,” Lecornu added. “For many, more selflessly, knowing how to show humility… The person should always put it before someone’s party.”
KEY EVENTS
How did we come here?
The roots of today’s political crisis can be watched until Macron’s decision to make legislative elections in the summer of 2024.
The elections gave a shredded parliament in which both extreme right and hard left continued to be significant. Complex issues are that politicians in France are not used to build a coalition and find consensus.
Hours after the results of the legislative elections last summer, a 36 -year -old boy in Lyon explained to me:
We do not have such a culture. We have a leading culture that decides to others, and the rest expects the next election to propose or impose the ideas in the opposition. So this is not all known to us. “
14 hours of government
Lecornu’s short period of duty points to the depth of the political crisis that holds France; Lecornu was only 27 days of prime minister. The government took 14 hours.
It was the shortest duty for a prime minister in Modern France.
Lecornu, a close ally of Macron, appointed his ministers on Sunday. They were ready to have their first meetings in the afternoon on Monday.
However, Lecornu’s election was criticized in the political spectrum and revealed concerns about how long it would last, not both right and not enough.
According to Reuters, Lecornu’s resignation means that the ministers who were appointed last night found themselves in strange situations of becoming guard ministers-only before a new government is formed-before it was formed for daily work.
The situation was gathered by the newly re-appointed Ecology Minister Agnès Pannier-Runacher: “I am desperate from this circus.”
Here are the urgent reactions we see on social media from the opposition:
Jordan Bardella, the leader of the national rally, said: “There is no return from the disintegration of the national assembly to the stability.”
Mathilde from the left left France called President Emmanuel Macron to follow Lecornu’s footprints: “Lecornu resigns. 3 Prime Minister was defeated in less than a year. Countdown has begun. Macron should go.”
Diving stocks and competitors new choices or Macron
Sébastien Lecornu was the third prime minister of the country in a year.
The news of the resignation immersed the CAC-40 index of leading French companies; At the closing of Friday, it fell about 2%.
Many people in France hugged with shock, President Emmanuel Macron’s competitors immediately seized. The far -right national rally called on him to call new instant elections or to resign along the spectrum on the left, and France called for Macron’s separation.
