EUROPEAN HEADLINES
BBC Europe – Top Macron ally Bayrou quits French government. France’s Justice Minister, François Bayrou, has handed in his resignation hours before President Emmanuel Macron reshuffles his government. Mr Bayrou’s centrist party MoDem has now lost all three posts in Mr Macron’s cabinet within 24 hours. President Macron came to power with a promise to fight political sleaze. MoDem, allied to Mr Macron’s La République en Marche (LREM) party, is facing an inquiry into claims that it used EU funds to pay party workers.
