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.

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.
