FRANCE TO FREEZE PENSIONS, CUT HOLIDAYS IN MASSIVE DEBT CRACKDOWN

Paris just dropped a €43.8B austerity hammer – and no one’s walking away untouched.

Pensions? Frozen. Public jobs? Cut.

Healthcare? Trimmed. 2 national holidays? Gone.

A new tax targets top earners, and tax fraud squads are getting beefed up.

France’s debt is growing by €5,000 every second – and could cost €100B a year by 2029 if they don’t slam the brakes now.

Bienvenue to budget pain, the French edition.
