French Prime Minister suddenly resigns

Mr. Manuel Valls, on August 25, submitted the government's resignation to the President amid the Cabinet's failure to agree on economic policies.

The above information was just released by the office of President Francois Hollande in a statement, according to the Independent newspaper.

According to the statement, a new government will be formed tomorrow, following "the direction the President has set for our country."

Mr Valls' decision came a day after left-wing Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg called for new economic policies and questioned what he called Germany's austerity "obsession".

In March, President Hollande chose Mr Valls, a former interior minister, as prime minister after the Socialist Party suffered a heavy defeat in the general election.
