The day centered on the resolution of France's political crisis, following Prime Minister François Bayrou's official resignation, submitted in the early afternoon. Media extensively covered the search for his successor, noting President Macron's vulnerability and record unpopularity. Concurrently, a major international development unfolded with confirmed Israeli strikes in Doha, Qatar, targeting Hamas officials, which President Macron swiftly condemned as "unacceptable". Domestically, the evening brought the highly anticipated announcement: Sébastien Lecornu was named the new Prime Minister, a loyalist to Macron. Opposition parties reacted immediately, criticizing the choice as a "provocation" and rejecting participation, while the Socialist Party warned of "social anger". Preparations for the September 10th nationwide blockades and investigations into islamophobic vandalism remained consistent, underlying domestic tensions.
