French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has resigned, BFM TV reported on Monday, citing unidentified government sources.
Lecornu has been serving as France's Prime Minister since September 9. He was appointed by French President Emmanuel Macron.
The Elyseé Palace announced his resignation on Monday morning, just hours after Lecornu named the ministers for his government. Le Monde reported that it was nearly identical to his predecessor, Francois Bayrou, who was ousted after a no-confidence vote in September.
Notably, Lecornu was the seventh prime minister that Macron had appointed during his mandate.
French officials react to Lecornu's resignation
"There is no doubt that the ephemeral Prime Minister had no room to maneuver, and it was certainly Emmanuel Macron himself who formed his government (...) there can be no stability without a return to the polls and a dissolution of the national assembly," Right-wing National Rally party leader Jordan Bardella told BFM TV.
"Following the resignation of Sebastien Lecornu, we call for the immediate consideration of the motion tabled by 104 MPs for the impeachment of Emmanuel Macron," Leftist France Unbowed party leader Jean-Luc Mélenchon wrote on X.
Lecornu's two predecessors, Francois Bayrou and Michel Barnier, were brought down by parliament over efforts to rein in France's public spending at a time when ratings agencies and investors are closely watching the country's fiscal deficit, the largest in the euro zone.
