Hold onto your baguettes 🥖—French politics is heating up! On Wednesday night, outgoing Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu told France 2 that President Emmanuel Macron is expected to appoint a new PM within the next 48 hours. 🚀
"I feel that a path forward is possible," Lecornu said, adding it’s up to Macron to wrap up final consultations. 🗣️ Amid calls from opposition parties to call early presidential elections, Lecornu thinks it’s "not the time to change the president." He also hinted Macron will address the nation in due course.
- Quick PM switch: Lecornu resigned last Monday, just weeks after his appointment.
- Pension reform: Debates are set to resume. Pausing the plan could cost at least 3 billion euros in 2027. 💰
- Budget 2026: The draft could hit the cabinet table next Monday, but expect plenty of discussion. 💼
Opposition parties are pushing for early elections to end the deadlock—sound familiar? In South Asia and Southeast Asia, we’ve seen how political shifts can spark fresh starts, but for now, France is sticking with Macron. 🇫🇷🌏
Stay tuned as Paris’ power puzzle unfolds—big leadership moves often happen behind the scenes, just like in the startup world! 💡
