Lecornu’s 27-day stint in office the shortest ever for a prime minister in modern France

FRANCE'S new prime minister resigned on Monday after less than a month in office, sinking the country further into a political crisis and piling pressure on President Emmanuel Macron to find a way out of the deadlock.

Sebastien Lecornu stepped down just 14 hours after naming his government and had been due to hold his first cabinet meeting in the afternoon.

But his new government raised hackles across the spectrum before ministers had even entered their new offices and he risked an immediate no-confidence vote in parliament this week.

Lecornu's 27-day stint in office was the shortest ever for a prime minister in modern France.
