Local Editor

France’s Prime Minister Manuel Valls presented the resignation of his government to the president Monday, Francois Hollande’s office said in a statement.

The statement said a new government would be formed Tuesday in line with the "direction he [the president] has defined for our country."

The move comes a day after leftist Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg called for new economic policies and questioned what he called Germany’s "obsession" with budgetary rigor.
