You know those Hoi4 mods that have some milquetoast leftist like Bernie or William Z Foster as some sort of fascist or totalitarian communist?

Macron is the real world version of that.

France's public-sector deficit is projected to reach around 5.6% of GDP this year and go over 6% in 2025. The EU has a 3% limit on deficits.

This is why the EU has to be destroyed. These insane austerity freaks literally never learn no matter how many times austerity fails.
