Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu is revealed to have falsely claimed a master’s degree in public law.

Mediapart reported that Lecornu’s official biography was altered to reflect “studies in law” instead of a claimed master’s, which he never obtained.

Matignon initially denied changes to the biography and later admitted he held a Master 1, a degree level no longer in existence.

    Fun fact I came across this on other media and was barely able to find any info on Google about it. I had to open Duck (Bing) which suddenly showed many results. So there is definitely some search engine surpression going on.

    But it says the French government website retracted his degree so the story seems to check out.

      Well I used ddg for my query so Stack was the first, best, and most clear answer. Which is surprising for obvious reasons.
