Macron Hid The Deficit

A document from the Ministry of Economy and Finance reveals that France's deficit is exploding, and might require 60 billion euros worth of cuts to get it down to where the EU wants it. Macron hid the document for over a month and a half. And Marine Le Pen reveals what she wants from the next government: a golden egg which might ensure the National Rally steamrolls the next legislative elections, which her party also hopes come as soon as possible. Plus, another name in the rotation as a potential PM: Michel Barnier.
