France's new Prime Minister Sebastian Lecornu has quit just 27 days after being appointed in the position.
President Emmanuel Macron on Monday accepted Lecornu's resignation, the Elysee Palace said, plunging the European nation further into political deadlock.
French politics has been in turmoil since July 2024, when snap parliamentary elections resulted in a hung parliament.
The sudden resignation came just hours after Lecornu, the former armed forces minister, appointed his new cabinet.
After weeks of consultations with political parties across the board, Lecornu, a close ally of Macron, on Sunday had appointed his ministers, and the cabinet had been set to hold its first meeting on Monday afternoon.
