The Presidential Election year budget in France to be considered in the coming months with opinion polling this week pushing the notion of public support for cutting spending.
The opinion poll conducted by the government itself with 40 percent of respondents speaking of France's current financial situation as 'very worrying'. That is up five percent from January.
The public debt of France now estimated to be 3.67 trillion Euros (4.251 trillion US Dollars). It's debt to GDP ratio now 117.6 percent second behind Italy (138.9 percent) and Greece (143.5 percent) among European nations.
11 percent of respondents pointing to the even higher debt levels of the US and Japan saying this means France's situation is 'not so serious'.
One question that the government asked in the opinion polling led to 77 percent of respondents saying they support 'targeted and difficult' budget cuts.
The question was framed to give those answering the question the notion if those cuts were not implemented more 'drastic general measures' would be needed in the future...
