PARIS, July 3, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – The French government led by Prime Minister
Edouard Philippe and his government submitted their resignations Friday, which
President Emmanuel Macron has accepted, the presidency said.
No reason was given in the short statement, but a cabinet shuffle had been
widely expected after Macron vowed to chart a new course for the last two
years of his term.
The government will continue to handle “day-to-day matters” until a new
government is named, the presidency said.
