Far-right leader Marine Le Pen said she would make drastic savings to bring France's public deficit back in line if she wins next year's presidential election. The government forecasts the national debt will hit 5.4 percent this year despite the EU setting a 3 percent limit for member states.
French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen said Tuesday that she would implement €140 billion ($157 billion) in cost savings by 2032 if elected next year, warning that without change France was "heading towards default" on its debt.
