What France's budget troubles mean for Europe and how to fix them | DW News

My dear, if the budget problem was so easy to resolve, the government wouldn't be collapsing....what planet are you on exactly dear???, planet imbecile.....I'm NY Toms very British/Brazilian future wife MD ( no Canada, appears to be a consistent France fantasy)...heading home to England in 2025

Karmaaaaa

Francophone African countries are moving away from France. France is having economic problems

France still looting from African countries …..looting money only helped them to get developed stage….now many African countries are opposing France……soon France will collapse due to budget constraints or they have get out of NATO to spend on people….

Uk, Germany, France……. I don’t know which country is next in Europe???……
All big economies in Europe started to fail……

"The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people's money.” - Margaret Thatcher
Well... France ran out of other people's money... Time will tell if the easy-going lifestyle with lot of paid vacations was worth it

Some people just aren't ready with frugal living, and that's just so baffling because there is a limit for everything. We fail to consume things that we produce due to our greed.

Wenn Bezirke von Paris jedes Jahr bei Protesten niedergebrannt werden, kostet es viel Geld.
Ausgabe für Sozialhilfe kostet Geld.
Hohe Kriminaltitätsrate, Terror und Gewalt führen dazu, dass sich seriöse Touristen nicht mehr trauen, in Städte wie Marseille Urlaub zu machen. Es gibt folglich weniger Einnahme in der Staatskasse.
Wer würde denn in eine Stadt investieren, wo es Kriminalität, Gewalt oder Terror gibt? Die Regierung muss entscheidend dagegen handeln.

US & China will bankrupt Europe.

Europa wird sich nicht stabilisieren, solange es nicht aus dem Schatten der USA heraustritt und selbst anführt.

Freedom.
Freedom for a FrenchMan. For a Indian or an African or a Latin American...
Every one Person Counts. ❤❤❤.

Looks like a well controlled collapse of everything all over giving them a perfect excuse to change the whole system...

Wait, what would happen to frence if the sanctions appkied to Russia were applied to them. Their country would crack in a week. Europe is mortgaged up to its eyeballs and if countries dont get a handle on the debt, interest will enslave everyone and destory countries. Russia suffered for 2 decades when they were made to pay all the soviet and Tsarist russia debts (they also had to pay all the debts of the republics as well which I think was a bit unfair). Their debt is very low and that is why they can stomach high interest rates because they can afford it.

At France everyone want to have a government job. That tells all. No productivity.

They have the biggest bloated government in the world

Tax the rich!

Macron brought much of this on with his previous tax reforms.

The French people will never learn that socialism as an economic system never works in the real world

If Germany and France lift sanctions against Russia and start cooperating on mutually beneficial terms, the crisis will end on the European continent.

you know what a plus there was in the USSR. the citizens of the USSR did not care about the problems of paying bills , where to get money for food . but communism has pros and cons, just like capitalism.

How? More ECB Loans and loans from American banks. The euro is stifling every EU country. Even Germany, which was once the heart of Europe. Breaking the Union is becoming more necessary.

How can the European Union close an agreement with Mercosur, when Brazil charges income taxes on miserables?

Isn't it clear by now that the European welfare states are the problem, not the solution? That is why our entrepreneurship gets taxed to death and budget ends can never meet.

Thanks for the video very interesting. I wish the best for the French

Well it started decades ago. It was a joke to see year after year a budget based on 3% GDP growth which of course never happened. So decades of ingrained deficits plus extra spending during the latest years, and now you see a well deserved and foreseeable debt disaster.

Le pen will make a great President.😊

Detective of money politics is following this very informative content and Cheers from VK3GFS and 73s from Frank Melbourne Australia

It costs a lot to divide a nation and bring in all those from Africa.

Socialism always fails, the degree of socialism determines the rate of change of failure. In this case decades long, slow.

You just don’t get it do you?

The current political impasse is over €60 Billion that Germany needs to modernise itself for a carbon free future. it doesn’t have the money and current fiscal rules prevent Germany from borrowing it.

BUT in 2021 alone it paid €33 Billion to the EU, who spent it on administration or gave it to other EU nations. The following year, 2022, it paid €20 Billion, and in 2023 it paid €17.4 Billion.

It had that €60 Billion. The EU took it.

The EU no longer have it. They spent it and gave it away. The EU can’t help Germany. And the EU wants and needs Germany to keep paying.

To use Thatchers analogy, Germany isn’t a frugal housewife who put a little aside every week for a rainy day…..

it is the Dickens-like character who gives all his money to the poor and has nothing left for Christmas.

Hey France. It always could be worst. You could be $36 trillion in debt and be in denial about it.
-America

All those French protesters who hated the changes in their pension think money just comes out of the ground. Oh wait, that's called oil, so it can't be that. They think money is something that comes out of a DnD bag of holding and need to come back to reality.

Every Western govt: we can't afford basic govt services we promised you your whole life, and you've been paying for. We need to raise your taxes and cut benefits for young people.'

Also every Western govt: 'we need to cut corporate taxes and create loopholes so the people with all the money don't pay taxes.... Why are you so angry?'

No sweetheart. It’s inflation. It’s money printing gone wild that’s caused this.

If thousands of people dont work but still have a living thats a insult to the people working hard but still struggling for a living
The prevelige of colonism and technik wont help help france forever😂

THE EU IS MUCH WORSE THAN USSR !!!

France's problem is its political aristocracy and overstaffing in the civil service (5.7 million to date).
For example, there are 1,200 state agencies, in which former elected officials and senior civil servants, very well paid, sleep and produce nothing.
These agencies alone cost the State 80 billion per year. Once retired, these aristocrats will receive a 5-figure pension.
Our political staff is not tackling this problem, because they are the primary beneficiaries.
The administrative millefeuille is so complex and costly that it slows down all productive initiatives and deters entrepreneurship.
And European officials are making it even more complex and rigid...

All the stolen wealth in the world and they still can't get it together

Remember when they had an election recently and at the last minute two of the parties made a coalition that let them override the party the people voted for? I do. This government deserves to fall, heck, they deserve to be in prison for manipulating the election.

"hein !"

France in many ways ressemble more Greece, Italy and Spain, don’t know what it’s doing pretending to be in the same club as Germany, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden etc.

I have nausea hearing the « hah »word every one second of the lady sorry…

What does macrons husband say?
