Mounting anger over austerity measures is fueling calls for mass mobilization and a fresh no-confidence vote.

While the French PM claims to be “bold and taking risks,” we are still yet to see cuts of undue social welfare spending linked to immigration.

Instead of austerity in a recession, France and other deficit-ridden EU states should try fiscal stimulus as a means to end their economic standstill.
National Rally VP Sébastien Chenu says the public shouldn’t bear the cuts unless the government also trims its own spending.

While proposing fiscal austerity, the Labour government hopes to revive the British economy. For a number of reasons, this will not work.
