The Élysée Palace announced on Wednesday evening that French President Emmanuel Macron will select a new Prime Minister within the next 48 hours, following consultations by the resigned Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu with various political forces in France to find a solution to the crisis.

The appointment of a successor to the unexpectedly resigned Prime Minister, who stepped down on Monday, is expected to temporarily steer France away from the possibility of calling early legislative elections, an option that could add further uncertainty to the EU’s second-largest economy.

In an interview with French Channel 2, Lecornu said the possibility of dissolving parliament has faded, and most political forces do not desire it. He confirmed he is not seeking to return as Prime Minister and that his mission “has ended,” adding, “I have tried everything.”

Far-right leader Marine Le Pen warned that her party, the National Rally, will block the formation of any new government, urging Macron again to dissolve the National Assembly or even resign.

A poll by the Odoxa Backbone institute showed that 57% of French people hold the President fully responsible for his Prime Minister’s resignation, and 70% support his resignation.
