French President Emmanuel Macron gave his outgoing prime minister, Sebastien Lecornu, until Wednesday night to negotiate with France’s political parties in a last-ditch effort to prevent the country from falling deeper into crisis. Macron’s options include appointing a new prime minister, calling a parliamentary election, or resigning, with opposition groups clamoring for fresh legislative elections.
