PARIS, Oct 6 (Reuters) - France’s new Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu and his government resigned on Monday, hours after Lecornu announced his cabinet line-up, making it the shortest-lived administration in modern French history and deepening the country’s political crisis.
The unexpected resignation came after allies and foes alike threatened to topple the new government, with Lecornu saying that meant he could not do his job. The announcement drove stocks and the euro sharply lower.
We do not need painful reforms. The only needed reforms would be painful for less than 1% of the population : the rich, the billionaires and millionaires not paying their fair amount of taxes.
Indeed. But as long as at least some parties protect them and their wallets as if they were the politicians’ lives, you won’t get anywhere.
That’s why we protest. They are put in bad position now. They’ll have to listen to us at some point.
