Sébastien Lecornu informed French President Emmanuel Macron on October 6th, 2025, that he does not wish to be reappointed Prime Minister, even if negotiations for a stability platform succeed. This decision was conveyed to Macron after Lecornu's brief tenure as Prime Minister and subsequent resignation earlier on October 6th, 2025. The ongoing political crisis has seen President Macron reportedly seen alone on Parisian quays. Throughout the reporting window of October 6th, 2025, from 5:07 PM to 6:36 PM UTC, the political turmoil in France continued to unfold. The National Rally (RN) announced, according to participants speaking to BFMTV, that they would "systematically censor any government," including a potential "Lecornu Government 2," with Marine Le Pen reportedly not being "sensitive to rehearsal comic." This stance underscores the opposition's commitment to opposing any new government formation. Adding to the domestic instability, previous reports from October 6th, 2025, indicated that European Commissioner Andrius Kubilius revealed German Intelligence obtained evidence of discussions within the Kremlin regarding a potential attack on NATO. This international security concern compounds the challenges faced by France amidst its internal political crisis. 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, stating his decision was made out of "mission spirit" due to "serious geopolitical circumstances." Several political parties convened emergency meetings to address the nation's "exceptional situation."
