Valls I cabinet

The Valls I cabinet was the incumbent government of France from April to August 2014.

It was the thirty-seventh government of the Fifth Republic and the third to be appointed by President François Hollande . The previous Ayrault cabinet resigned on the evening of March 31, 2014 after the poor performance of the left government alliance in the local elections in March . On April 1, appointed President Hollande Manuel Valls to the Prime Minister and asked him to form a new government.

The new ministers were appointed by presidential decree on the morning of April 2, 2014 and the constitution of the new government announced on the same day.

On August 25, 2014, after only 146 days in office, Manuel Valls announced the resignation of his government. The background to the resignation was strong criticism of the Minister of Economics Arnaud Montebourg and the Minister of Education Benoît Hamon of the economic policy course of the Hollande presidency, especially the austerity policy. Instead of dismissing the ministers, or at least Montebourg, Valls decided to resign the entire government. On the same day, Valls was given the task of forming a new government by President Hollande, from which the Valls II cabinet emerged.

If transitional governments between presidential and parliamentary elections in quick succession are not taken into account, the Valls I cabinet is the French government with the second-shortest term in the fifth republic. Only the Messmer III cabinet was in office for 89 days in 1974, although the term of office was so short due to the death of President Georges Pompidou and the usual resignation of the government after the following presidential election .
