The next government will not have yet left the polls when it will already experience increased pressure from Europe on its shoulders.
As ING experts point out, the excessive deficit procedure that the Commission should launch, around June 19, against France and around ten other member states is taking on new significance with the change of political situation, that of a test for the euro and the possibility of a crisis on the French debt.
If France knows this measure of the stability pact well, which it experienced for nine years before 2018, the dissolution takes it into the unknown. Even before the response that the next tenant of Bercy will provide in the fall to remedy the budget deficit, the declarations during the legislative campaign will therefore be closely scrutinized by international investors.
