Conflating Sovereignty with Overregulation: Why is France’s economic collapse inevitable?

The future for the French economy is not looking good, predicts Sebastien Laye, far from it, as he recommends a video from "the channel that explains you the most fascinating stories of the economy!"

France's economy is on a precarious trajectory, marked by nearly two decades of stagnation in GDP per capita since 2008, coupled with soaring public debt that has risen from 70% to 116% of GDP. Projections indicate it could climb to 125% by 2030. This crisis is exacerbated by chronic budget deficits, the highest public spending among OECD nations, and profound political fragmentation in the National Assembly, where no coalition holds a majority. 

 Key challenges include resistance to fiscal reforms, driven by societal demands for increased state aid without corresponding tax hikes, alongside demographic shifts that intensify spending on an aging population. 

Addressing this requires decisive structural reforms, including spending cuts and revenue enhancements, though political instability and public protests render such measures exceedingly difficult. Without urgent action, France faces deepening economic decline and instability.

In related news, concerning Trump's (or Rubio's) banning of a handful of EU honchos to the United States, Sebastien Laye goes on to point out that,

Regarding T. Breton: the real problem has nothing to do with the EU/US relationship.

The true problem is that a former executive like Thierry Breton—with a record of significant industrial failures—has emerged as the face of French and European digital power, spending his days on television lecturing everyone.

By conflating sovereignty with overregulation, Europe has not strengthened itself; on the contrary, it has isolated itself.

Thierry Breton has been featured on No Pasarán since 2005, i.e., for the past 20 years. The coverage was rarely positive, and last summer he was fiercely criticized on BFMTV by Philippe Karsenty, who echoes Sébastien, pointedly asking why should we (we Europeans, we Americans, anybody) listen to him criticize Elon Musk, the founder of Tesla and SpaceX, when the French critic is known for running his own companies (Athos, Orange) into the ground?…
