French Government Collapses Again

Wait 5 sec.

“Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu and his government resigned Monday, deeply exacerbating a French political and economic crisis that is roiling financial markets and casting grave doubts over President Emmanuel Macron’s ability to govern,” Politico reports.New York Times: “The resignation immediately ratcheted up pressure from opposition parties on the left and far-right that are pushing Mr. Macron to call snap parliamentary elections.”“Mr. Lecornu, a close ally of Mr. Macron, was appointed less than a month ago. He is the third prime minister to leave office in under a year, a near-unprecedented level of turmoil in France’s modern political history.”
