France's NPF Avoids Deficit Financing for Left-Wing Agenda

The New Popular Front (NPF) in France plans to fund its left-wing programme without increasing deficits. According to senior alliance member Eric Coquerel, the NPF will rely on tax revenues for funding and is committed to maintaining fiscal responsibility.

France's newly formed New Popular Front (NPF) left-wing alliance does not plan to finance its programme through an increase in deficits, said senior alliance member Eric Coquerel on Friday.

"Our reasoning is not to increase deficits," Coquerel said adding funding would notably come from tax revenues.
