French Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu has stepped down from his office less than 24 hours after announcing his new Cabinet.
Speaking to the press from the courtyard of the prime minister’s residence on Monday, Lecornu told reporters that he offered President Emmanuel Macron his resignation due to his belief that “one cannot serve as prime minister when the necessary conditions are not met.”
