Bakslag för Macron: Försvarsministern avgår
Frankrikes försvarsminister Sylvie Goulard meddelar att hon avgår. Det rapporterar AFP.
I ett uttalande säger Goulard att hon inte kan sitta kvar i regeringen eftersom det finns en möjlighet att hon kan komma att utredas om påstått falska anställningar i Europaparlamentet.
Sylvie Goulard, som numera tillhör Macrons parti La République en Marche, var tidigare medlem i mittenpartiet Mouvement Démocrate (MoDem). Goulards tidigare parti utreds, i likhet med en rad andra franska partier, för att ha använt assistenter som betalats av EU till att arbeta med andra arbetsuppgifter.
