French President Emmanuel Macron has initiated an urgent series of meetings at the Élysée Palace, inviting leaders from the majority of France’s political parties this Friday afternoon (October 10, 2025). The discussions, which notably exclude the far-right and hard-left, are part of his intensive search for the nation’s sixth Prime Minister in less than two years, according to reports from broadcaster BFM citing informed sources.
This critical move comes after Mr. Macron’s office announced on Wednesday (October 8, 2025) that a new Prime Minister would be appointed within 48 hours. The decision follows two days of extensive talks led by outgoing Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu, who was attempting to navigate France out of what has been described as its most profound political crisis in decades.
