French Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu resigned after less than a month in office on Monday and less than 24 hours after naming a new government that prompted a key coalition ally to withdraw support. The move deepened the country’s political crisis and left President Emmanuel Macron with few options. The presidency said that Macron, who has been hitting record lows in opinion polls, accepted the resignation.
