We need a Raymond Barre! - Point
EDITORIAL. In 1976, the Prime Minister, author of an austerity plan, had hidden nothing from the French about the state of the country. Nothing to do with the current method...
By Pierre-Antoine DelhommaisPosted onLink copiedCopy link On September 22, 1976, Raymond Barre, appointed Prime Minister a month earlier by Valéry Giscard d'Estaing, replacing Jacques Chirac, had presented on television an austerity plan intended to fight against inflation and stop the drift of accounts public and outside – nostalgic souls can watch an excerpt from his speech on the INA website. https://www.ina.fr/ina-eclaire-actu/video/i12191598/raymond-barre-la-france-vit-au-haut-de-ses-moyens
“We need to understand that the essential reason for the situation we are experiencing can be summed up in a single formula: France is living beyond its means.

His name has become synonymous with a free and powerful France.

Who pays his debts gets richer!
Support for consumption through public spending is support for our imports, which we have naturally paid on credit for more than 20 years. Purchasing power has been artificially maintained in France for at least 20 years. Asking the working middle class to pay more taxes is almost impossible and considerably reducing public spending too. Maintaining social cohesion prevents any reduction in income from redistribution and essential public services are also in difficulty (school, justice, police, etc.). So, what to do apart from continuing to live under the illusion that France is still a rich country, forgetting that it's on credit. GDP in 2020 per capita in Switzerland was $85,000 and in France $35,000. How to explain this difference? Are inequalities in Switzerland much greater than in France? Is the purchasing power of the Swiss much greater than that of the French? France is becoming a small country but she does not know it yet. Switzerland is a small country and assumes it!
