The Financial Times outlines how recent political instability in France could undermine the country's economic achievements. Over the past decade, France has seen significant foreign investment and reduced unemployment. However, political polarization, particularly between the far-left, far-right, and centrist groups, threatens this progress. According to a recent study led dy Yann Algan, professor at HEC Paris, 60% of "angry French" citizens are critical of high taxes and limited access to public services, fueling further discontent across the nation.
