French President Emmanuel Macron will appoint a new prime minister “within 48 hours,” the French presidency announced on Wednesday evening, following consultations held by the resigned Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu with various political forces in France in an effort to find a way out of the crisis.

Before the announcement, Lecornu considered that “conditions are set for Macron to appoint a new head of government within the next 48 hours, to avoid dissolving the National Assembly.”

Lecornu caused a crisis not seen in France for more than 70 years when he resigned on Monday, just 14 hours after announcing his government lineup.

He held talks with political forces to find a solution to spare the president from having to dissolve parliament again.
