France’s new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu and his government resigned on Monday, hours after Lecornu announced his cabinet line-up, making it the shortest-lived administration in modern French history and deepening the country’s political crisis. The unexpected resignation came after allies and foes alike threatened to topple the new government, which Lecornu said meant he could not do his job. The Socialist Party reacted reacted to his announcement, saying it was calling for the dissolution of Parliament nor the resignation of President Macron. Analysis by FRANCE 24 international affairs editor Angela Diffley.
