French media maintained intense focus on the political crisis following Sébastien Lecornu's resignation. In the morning, President Macron faced calls for dissolution and early presidential elections, notably from Edouard Philippe, while Lecornu began "ultimate negotiations." International outlets expressed concern over French instability. By late morning, Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella declined Lecornu's invitation for discussions. Early afternoon saw Lecornu receive Bruno Retailleau and Laurent Wauquiez, separately. Later, Élisabeth Borne suggested a "suspension" of her pension reform to break the political deadlock, and Lecornu requested an impact study on this from Bercy. Macron held meetings with Yaël Braun-Pivet and Gérard Larcher, while the left remained divided on unity.
