Budget cuts: the executive wants to reform unemployment compensation again. “We can no longer accept seeing young people go around the world at the expense of the taxpayer,” says a government source.

‘Tackling compensation would not be popular, it’s true, but the French will not march to support the unemployed,’ says another. With a debt of 3,088 billion, France remains a poor performer Although discussions are underway, the government seems determined to make decisions that will allow it to save money.
