The French government is in a bit of a pickle at the moment. Well, it’s been in a bit of a pickle for several years now, but things have recently really come to a head. With rising prices and tensions around the world, and France being kiiinda in the middle of it all, it’s no surprise that people aren’t exactly champing at the bit to lead the country.
Still, it’s a bit shocking that someone could take power and then give it up immediately, but that’s what appears to have happened earlier today.
In short, Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu was in office for just over 26 days when he announced that a new government had been formed. He then tendered his resignation around 14 hours later.
Sorry, guys — back to the drawing board!
