Sarkozy on Saturday cleared the decks for his long-awaited cabinet reshuffle, accepting — as a formality — the resignation of Prime Minister Francois Fillon and his entire government.

Fillon is expected to be rapidly re-appointed premier, and he will then go on to name a new team of ministers, hoping to reinvigorate the government and kickstart Sarkozy’s undeclared 2012 re-election campaign.-AFP
