In a today’s news snapshot, France’s political and economic troubles are not just a French issue—they’re a European one, says German MEP Rasmus Andresen.
Andresen, who represents the European Parliament, warns that the old French system, where a president could easily command a parliamentary majority, no longer fits a country whose parties are split and hard to cooperate with. This fragmentation weakens decision‑making at every level—from Paris to Brussels.
France sits at the heart of the EU’s economy. Its instability spreads outwards: stock markets wobble, government debt worries grow, and right‑wing groups gain a foothold. “If France can’t find a new way to compromise, Europe risks deeper polarization and uncertainty,” Andresen says.
The key message is clear: to curb a looming crisis, French leaders need fresh political solutions that build bridges across ideological lines. Only then can France—and the wider EU—avoid a spiral of instability that threatens the continent’s financial markets and democratic norms.
