French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu Resigns Less Than a Day After Forming His Cabinet
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

France's Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned on Monday, less than
a day after forming his Cabinet and less than a month since being
appointed as prime minister. That leaves French President Emmanuel
Macron to decide on whether to dissolve Parliament and call another snap
election. It comes as tens of thousands of protesters have taken to the
streets in recent demonstrations led by trade unions denouncing budget
cuts.
