TOPSHOT - Outgoing French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, who submitted his government's resignation to the French President this morning, leaves after delivering a statement at the Hotel Matignon in Paris, on October 6, 2025. France's President Emmanuel Macron on October 6, 2025 accepted Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu's resignation, the presidency said, plunging the European nation further into political deadlock. Macron named Lecornu last month to the post, but the largely unchanged cabinet lineup he unveiled late October 5, 2025 was met with fierce criticism across the political spectrum.
