Xinhua News Agency, Paris, October 10th Why did the French prime minister resign?

The New York Times reporter Donald Trump.

A dramatic scene took place in French politics on the 10th. President Macron announced that night that Le Corney, who resigned on the 6th, was re-elected as prime minister. Why was Le Corney re-elected as prime minister?

Why Le Corney again?

On the 6th, Le Corni, who had only been in office for 27 days and had less than 24 hours since forming a cabinet, applied to Macron to resign and became the shortest-serving prime minister of the Fifth Republic of France. France fell into a serious political crisis. Macron immediately entrusted Le Korney to conduct "final negotiations" with various political parties as caretaker prime minister. Le Corni later announced that there was a possibility of reaching a compromise between the parties and that Macron would appoint a new prime minister within 48 hours.

On the afternoon of the 10th, Macron met with the heads of the main political parties in the National Assembly in the presidential palace. That evening, the presidential palace announced that he had chosen Leclerc again as prime minister. France¡¯s BFMTV news station said it was ¡°the most dramatic scene in a week¡¯s down-and-down political drama.¡±

The French governing coalition currently does not dominate the number of seats in the National Assembly.The media previously analyzed that after Le Corney's resignation, Macron is likely to appoint a prime minister from the left-wing political party to gain the latter's support, or choose a technical bureaucracy without a party background to form a technical cabinet, again appointing Le Corney as the "down".

According to the Figaro newspaper, there are several reasons why Macron insisted on nominating Leicester Leicester again. First, Leicester was Macron¡¯s most loyal supporter and able to implement Macron¡¯s policies. When Macron met with the heads of the major political parties on the 10th, the conditions set by the left party were to suspend the reform of the retirement system, while the right-wing Republican party was clearly opposed to stopping the reform, and both sides were at odds. Regardless of which campaign Macron chose the prime minister, he lost the support of the other party and would affect the reform of the retirement system he led.

Secondly, after Le Corny resigned, he acted as a coordinator, negotiated with major political parties and reached a certain degree of consensus.

Third, in order to pass the draft national budget for 2026 in Parliament before the end of the year, the Prime Minister must promote relevant procedures as soon as possible. Le Corney had prepared the draft budget during his tenure, and now the replacement will affect the progress.

Le Korney has accepted the appointment of the new prime minister. The media expects him to form a new government team mainly composed of "technical ministers."

How are the parties reacting

Regarding Le Korni's reappointment as Prime Minister, Borne, who had just resigned, congratulated Le Korni. She said,"Compromise is needed now more than ever."

However, Attar, former prime minister and secretary-general of the Baath Party, believes that appointing a "prime minister with close ties to the president is not conducive to dialogue with the opposition."

The main opposition in France has expressed strong opposition to Leclerc's re-election.

Baldeira, chairman of the far-right National League, posted on social media that the appointment reflected that Macron was "more isolated and disconnected than ever" and was a "bad joke" and that the party would soon impeach Le Korni's government.

Leader of the far-left ¡°not submitting to France¡± Merlon said that again appointing the resigned prime minister is like rotating the circle of the horse, ¡°Macron has no choice but to be himself.¡±

Can the new prime minister sit firm?

According to French media analysis, Le Corny is very likely to be impeached, and the French political situation is still unstable.

At present, the far-right National League and the far-left "Non-French" have made it clear that they want to impeach the new prime minister, and the left-wing Ecological Party and the French Communist Party have also said that they want to vote no confidence.

The right-wing Republican and left-wing Socialist Party attitude may be key to Leicester¡¯s fate. Republican lawmakers held a video conference on the evening of 10 and most lawmakers voted in support of Leicester¡¯s new government. However, the Socialist side made it clear that if Leicester¡¯s government did not promise to immediately suspend retirement reforms or decided to use special provisions of the Constitution to bypass parliamentary voting to enforce the adoption of the draft budget for 2026, the party would cast a vote of no confidence.

French media believe that the attitude of the Socialist Party will have a "decisive role" in the survival of Le Corni's government. Le Figaro pointed out that Le Corni's new term is "more dangerous than ever."
