Gabriel Attal, current leader of President Macron's party, stated on October 6th, 2025, that he no longer understands the President's decisions amidst France's ongoing political instability. This statement comes as Sébastien Lecornu declined on October 6th, 2025, to be reappointed Prime Minister, even if a stability platform could be negotiated. Attal's public expression of confusion follows Lecornu's brief tenure as Prime Minister and subsequent resignation earlier on October 6th, 2025. The political crisis has seen President Macron tasked Lecornu with establishing an "action and stability platform" by Wednesday evening, a request Lecornu has now declined. Earlier on October 6th, 2025, Sébastien Lecornu resigned as Prime Minister after less than three hours in office, citing "partisan appetites" and "presidential" ambitions. Bruno Le Maire also resigned as Minister of the Armed Forces. The National Rally (RN) has stated they will "systematically censor any government," with Marine Le Pen reportedly remarking she is "not sensitive to rehearsal comic."
