Wow, France is living up to the drama! 🇫🇷 Just after his big debut, PM Sebastien Lecornu, a close ally of President Macron, stepped down instead of kicking off his first cabinet meeting. 😲
Lecornu spent weeks talking with different parties before unveiling his team on October 5. But the lineup sparked "too right" vs "not right enough" debates across the political spectrum, leaving him with no easy play. 🤔
His resignation, accepted by the Elysee Palace, marks the fifth PM change in just two years
a sign of France's fragile government since Macron's last win in 2022, with no clear majority in the assembly.
Far-right National Rally leader Jordan Bardella wasted no time calling for fresh elections, saying stability can only return if the National Assembly is dissolved and new votes are held. 📢
For young voters in South Asia and Southeast Asia, this whirlwind might sound intense, but it's a reminder that politics everywhere can be as unpredictable as the latest viral meme. Stay tuned for updates! 🌏✨
