France is facing fresh political turmoil after Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu resigned just 27 days into his term — the shortest in modern French history.
His departure follows a failed attempt to form a stable cabinet amid a deeply divided parliament.
President Emmanuel Macron has given Lecornu until Wednesday to resolve the crisis, hinting at possible snap elections if talks collapse.
Public frustration is mounting as France sees its fifth prime minister in under two years.
