Political instability and rising debt continue in France

Political instability is intensifying in France. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

In the past two years, the country has seen five prime ministers change. Due to the parliament being divided into three, the government is facing difficulties in making important decisions, including approving the budget.

The national debt has exceeded 3 trillion euros, reaching 114 percent of the gross domestic product. Debt repayment expenses are expected to reach 67 billion euros in 2025.

Rating agencies downgrading France's financial indicators is considered a warning sign for the economy. Protests continue across the country.

Trade unions and political parties dissatisfied with government policies are taking to the streets. Analysts refer to France as a "state on the island of debt and instability."

President Emmanuel Macron appointed 39-year-old Sébastien Lecornu as the new prime minister. His main task is to approve the 2026 budget in agreement with the parliament.

This decision could be a crucial test determining France's future.
