„Nu s-a mai întâmplat din 1797”: Banca Franței reacționează la o propunere controversată privind datoria publică

Emmanuel Moulin, the Governor of the Bank of France, criticized Jean-Luc Mélenchon's proposal to cancel part of the public debt, calling it illegal and dangerous. Mélenchon argues that this measure would reduce France's debt-to-GDP ratio, allowing for increased public spending. Moulin emphasized that such a move would violate eurozone treaties and could lead to inflation and higher interest rates. He stated that the proposal would not solve the debt issue but merely shift it, creating a significant deficit in the Bank of France. He acknowledged some responsibility for rising public debt but pointed to external shocks as contributing factors.
