French prime minister criticizes Mélenchon's "dangerous" proposal and accuses the radical left of advocating France's exit from the euro

CNN Portugal29 August 2026 at 17:12

The French prime minister, Sébastien Lecornu, harshly criticized Jean-Luc Mélenchon's proposal, considering it "dangerous" for the country. Lecornu accused the French radical left of advocating France's exit from the euro, at a time when political tensions are intensifying in the French political landscape.

The prime minister also commented on the possibility of France annulling part of its debt, considering this situation as "theft". This position arises in the context of debates about economic and financial policies that oppose different political currents in the country.

Lecornu's criticism comes in response to the economic proposals advanced by Mélenchon and the radical left, which include controversial measures such as the partial annulment of French public debt. The prime minister warned about the risks that such policies would represent for France's economic stability and for its position in the eurozone.
