Frankreich: Le Pens radikale Rechnung mit vielen Fragezeichen
Marine Le Pen will 140 Milliarden Euro sparen – etwa beim EU-Beitrag und bei Leistungen für Ausländer. Ökonomen zweifeln an der Umsetzbarkeit. Und auch ihre eigenen Wähler könnte es treffen.
Marine Le Pen, the leader of the far-right Rassemblement National (RN) party in France, has unveiled a radical economic plan that involves cutting the country's EU contribution by one-third. This comes as France faces a severe budget crisis. Le Pen's plan includes a €140 billion austerity program aimed at fixing France's public finances within six years.
She also plans to reduce spending on non-French citizens and pull funding for Ukraine. Le Pen claims that her plan will make France a reliable partner again, signaling that the country has turned a corner in its fiscal management. However, the feasibility of her measures is highly questionable. Some of them could even backfire on her own constituents, as they might negatively impact farmers and rural communities, whose support is crucial for her political future.
