France's Macron Says Europe Is Over-Regulating, Under-Investing

French President Emmanuel Macron warned that the European Union could die if it didn’t boost its competitiveness with China and the US. "We are over-regulating and under-investing. In the two to three years to come, if we follow our classical agenda we will be out of the market," he told on a panel moderated by Bloomberg's Stephanie Flanders at the Berlin Global Dialogue.

He's 100% right on this, but has done nothing to deliver on these words :(

[fredericdodin]

This man has been in office for 7 years and has not done anything to deregulate the French economy and he has now the cheek to patronize!
Incredible!

[andrewthacker]

Well said, Europeans are big on regulation.Keeps the bureaucrats employed 😊

[AndreiLop]

All his points are valid. Europe has a phenomenal educational system, with numerous top-tier universities and research institutions, as well as many world-class researchers across all fields of science. However, the region lacks sufficient venture capital and has fewer startups, making it challenging to start a company. Overregulation and limited investment hold back innovation. (I worked in Austria, UK, Italy and Switzerland)

These are some relevant and wise reflections Macron brings up, but the problem is that he is an advocate of EU common debt and thus believes in the state's ability to allocate other people's money efficiently. There are no signs that this is a good idea and history shows that this kind of thing should be avoided. Why, you just have to understand the incentives of politicians and the more central they sit, the worse it gets.

[bobtuiliga]

Good luck trying to convince the EU institutions to deregulate 🤣

[yannhusson]

As always, he has great ideas but there's 0 execution. His Prime Minister is now increasing taxes on energy and companies. All these people know is talk, zero action.

I'm french and I can tell you this guy lies chronically and is as narcissistic as it gets. Aside from continuously changing his stance on key issues, he's bankrupted our country (1000b euros of additional debt just during his presidency; France now has a worst debt profile than Greece), and continuously tramples on the political will of the French people (the left won the legislative elections yet the right is overwhelmingly represented in the new government). Even if he's a good orator, he's beyond incompetent, and has damaged the diplomatic and cultural image of France at an unfathomable scale. Somehow, there is no real, legitimate, political resistance to him in France and he knows it. Ultimately, you can be duped by ideological divides but the RN (Le Pen), NUPES (Melenchon), and Renaissance (Macron), all are pro-EU and pro-NATO. This means that, in spite of claims and mutual demonizations, issues like foreign policy, immigration, energy, and monetary policy all converge. The RN can call for reduced immigration all they want, but ultimately, by opting to stay within the EU, the hold no power to make such a decision. Its all smoke and mirrors.

Here's the translation:

"Macron, we have reindustrialized France = 7% less industrial production compared to 2017 in France, we have reduced unemployment = 1 million more public sector employees in 7 years. We had growth = + 1000 billion euros in debt in 7 years out of 3200 billion (2200 billion in 60 years, 1000 billion in 7 years!!!!)."

[patrickmuri]

Say what you want about Macron, he's the only one that actually understands - and openly communicates in an understanding way - the issues in Europe. Europe is in a dramatic downfall. And Germany is a sad example.

Regulate out the Chinese and American companies, have the best books and no industries. That’s where Europe is going…

France's involvement in Vietnam laid the groundwork for the later conflict known as the Vietnam War. As a colonial power, France had controlled Vietnam as part of French Indochina since the late 19th century. After World War II, France attempted to reassert control over Vietnam, leading to the First Indochina War against Vietnamese independence forces. France's eventual defeat in 1954 resulted in the division of Vietnam into North and South. This partition and the power vacuum left by France's withdrawal set the stage for increased U.S. involvement and the subsequent Vietnam War in which 58, 200 American soldiers were killed and 300, 000 injured, as the U.S. sought to prevent communist expansion in Southeast Asia.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
