What was Lecornu's gasp bid?
Asked 10 hours ago
Answer
Lecornu's last-gasp bid involved urgent negotiations with political parties to resolve France's political crisis, focusing on adopting a budget and addressing New Caledonia's future. Despite being given 48 hours by Macron to form a new government, key opposition figures rejected his efforts, leading to his resignation after just one month in office.
