International press slams France's finances as 'sick man of Europe'

Original: #France : l’homme malade de l’#Europe. La situation financière de la France étrillée par la presse internationale.

France's deteriorating public finances are being harshly criticized by the international press, which has taken to calling the country the 'sick man of Europe'. Commentators point to chronic budget deficits, rising debt and political instability as evidence that France has become the eurozone's biggest economic worry. The label, once attached to other struggling economies, is now widely applied to Paris, fueling debate at home about the government's ability to restore credibility.

Why now: Fresh criticism of France's financial situation in foreign media has struck a nerve amid concerns over its debt and deficits.
