Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
France is the
weakest of Europe's big 3 economies
Marine Le Pen
was supported by over 20% of the voters in the latest presidential election,
and she is advancing to a run-off for the French presidency on 7 May. The
radical politician commits to revive the republic without EU, euro and NATO. It
sounds like an idea to become a fully independent state in the continental
Europe like Switzerland. Why such significant portion of people in France want
an extreme politician to lead the country?
Though France
is one of the major economies in Europe, its rate of economic growth has been
lagging behind the fellow EU giants, Germany and the UK. Also, one out of four
young people is unemployed. To make the situation even worse, the country’s deficit
is mounting because of its relatively high social spending.
Time to
choose a drastic change like the UK or the US, or continuity and consistency.
Enjoy reading
and thinking if there are effective cures that could remedy France’s economic
problems.
