The Court of Auditors is sounding the alarm on the state of France's public finances.

Pierre Moscovici also wanted to recall that the current financial situation of the country “is dangerous and worrying“. “We have 3,200 billion in debt, 110% of GDP in terms of public debt where our partners have 85% and a debt burden which will reach 70 billion euros next year compared to 25 billion euros a few years ago. years.“, he emphasized. “We really need to reduce our deficits and control our debt“, insisted the magistrate, describing 2024 as “black year“.
Pierre Moscovici considers it better to make savings “in expenses” rather than in taxes
At the microphone of our colleagues, Pierre Moscovici was also critical of the National Rally and its demands in the Budget which consist of “demand concessions that worsen the deficit then blame the government for not filling it“. “To control a deficit, it is always better to make savings in expenses because you can do taxes once but twice: hello damage“, also judged the president of the Court of Auditors. Before adding: “As it was an emergency, it is logical that the government did a lot of taxes and what's more, it did so with a logic which was that of fiscal justice.“
