Austeritatea dă târcoale Franței, cu un Parlament fragmentat și alegeri care bat la ușă

France's Finance Ministry predicts a record debt of 119.3% of GDP by 2026, with further increases expected in 2027. Prime Minister Sébastien Lecornu aims to keep the deficit below 5.5% and plans €54 billion in savings for the 2027 budget. However, implementing austerity measures faces challenges due to a divided parliament and rising voter concerns over living costs. Upcoming presidential elections in April add to the financial pressures, as the interest rate difference with Germany has surpassed one percentage point for the first time since the eurozone debt crisis.
