Luxembourg's PM due to resign over intelligence scandal
Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker was expected Thursday to tender his government's resignation, after failing to convince coalition and opposition parties that he was not responsible for a scandal involving the SREL intelligence agency.
Juncker is the European Union's longest-serving prime minister after 18 years in office, having gained prominence as a founding father of the euro and the first president of the Eurogroup of eurozone finance ministers.
He lost the support of his Social Democrat coalition partners after a parliamentary inquiry found that he held "political responsibility" for years of malpractice at SREL.
