France's Justice Minister Fran'ois Bayrou resigned on Wednesday as his party battles a funding scandal. Bayrou's resignation comes hours before President Emmanuel Macron reshuffles his government. <br/><br/>The Minister's centrist party MoDem, allied to Macron's La R'publique en Marche party, is facing an inquiry into claims that it used EU funds to pay party workers. <br/><br/>MoDem has lost all three posts in Macron's cabinet within 24 hours. Defence Minister and former member of European Parliament Sylvie Goulard was the first MoDem minister to hand in her resignation yesterday. <br/><br/>After Bayrou said he was standing down, it became clear that European Affairs Minister Marielle de Sarnez was also leaving the government to take over as head of MoDem in the National Assembly.
