French President Emmanuel Macron on Monday asked outgoing Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu to hold final talks with political parties to find a way out of the political crisis by Wednesday evening. The decision came hours after Lecornu handed his resignation as prime minister less than a month into the job.
President Emmanuel Macron has said he is ready to "assume responsibility" if resigning PM Sébastien Lecornu fails again after a 48-hour, Wednesday evening deadline for last-ditch negotiations, AFP reports citing an unnamed source close to the French president.
