mint Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Yes, French tv news is filled with this. It's already heavily criticised even though it hasn't even be launched yet.I don't think the 100 million mentioned is enough money[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NormanH Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Castex reminded citizens that of the €100bn (£89bn), €40bn had come from the European Union recovery fund, and urged them to remember this when the money was spent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroTr@sh Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Mint, could you be a bit more specific on which specific elements of the plan you think need more investment, or what elements you think have been left out? At first sight I thought the plan looked like a good basis.I think a good plan that makes best use of the money allocated, is infinitely better than moremoney and a poor plan, or no plan at all and you just throw unlimited money at it and hope some sticks. After all, just look at what the UK is investing in Brexit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mint Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 ET, I don't say that I have looked at the plan in detail, but just a list of all the things to be tackled shows me 1) that too many things have to be financed and 2) some of the plans especially those relating to the green ecology are going to need a massive initial investment.So, unemployment, public transport, infrastructure projects to make France "greener", education (especially higher education) plus the loss of revenue which will surely result from Brexit and the coronavirus, IMHO, would all add up to unimaginative sums[:-))] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
