If the permanent members of the security council didn’t have veto powers they A: wouldn’t have joined, and B: would go “you and what army?” if people voted to force them to do something.
It’s just a way to keep a high level discussion going.
I don’t think that’s an accurate representation.
Covid happened. It hit most countries like that. Now he’s trying to balance things again, against intense opposition
The root cause is not recent. The french have been overspending for decades. Look at the debt to GDP ratio over time.
France has had two choices for a long time; continue overspending or balance the budget. They keep picking overspending.
