Sébastien Lecornu resigned as Prime Minister of France on Sunday, October 6th, after a tenure of just 27 days, making him the shortest-serving Prime Minister in the Fifth Republic's history. His government held power for less than three hours before his resignation was announced. Lecornu is scheduled to make a statement at Matignon at 10:45 am UTC, according to his entourage. Following Lecornu's resignation, Jordan Bardella has called for the dissolution of the National Assembly. Additionally, 104 deputies have filed a motion for the dismissal of President Emmanuel Macron. The departing ministers are eligible for severance pay of approximately €28,000 gross each, totaling around €500,000, as per a decree published on Sunday. BFMTV reported that the resigning Prime Minister invited his ministers to Matignon for a meeting at 1:00 PM UTC. The swift resignation of Lecornu's government, with power transitions not even organized, has been described by some observers as an "implosion of macronism."
