Marine Le Pen criticizes rising French sovereign debt

Marine Le Pen, the presidential candidate for the Rassemblement National, has criticized the rising levels of French sovereign debt, describing them as record highs not seen since the 2008 financial crisis.

Le Pen stated on social media that the current economic situation is the result of ten years of Macronism, specifically targeting President Emmanuel Macron and former Prime Minister Edouard Philippe. She noted that the ten-year reference borrowing rate has reached 4.10% amid a general rise in borrowing costs. If elected, Le Pen has pledged to reform the nation's public finances.
