France called the new sick man of Europe
Original: Opinion | France is the new sick man of Europe
A Washington Post opinion piece argues that France has become the new 'sick man of Europe', a label historically applied to struggling economies on the continent. The article points to France's political instability, budget deficits and debt burden as signs of deep economic and institutional malaise. The characterisation is fueling debate in France and across the EU about the country's direction under President Emmanuel Macron.
Why now: Ongoing concern over France's political turmoil, public debt and budget crisis has renewed comparisons to ailing European economies.
