IN THE PAPERS
By Elena CASAS

Liberation accuses interior minister Claude Guéant of doing Marine Le Pen's campaigning for her, after he called for fewer legal immigrants in France.

The same paper also blames the government for soaring unemployment figures - as does l'Humanité, which is calling for an urgent change of policy tack.

La Croix reports on the pressure to save the eurozone from recession - while la Tribune says an attempt to get individual investors to buy French bonds has fallen on deaf ears.

Finally, Le Figaro reports on that fresh ammunition behind rumours Dominique Strauss-Kahn was set up back in May when he was arrested in New York.

French Unemployment

by Anonyme - 13/04/2012 - 17:54

The best way to reduce unemployment in France would be to give to employers 12 euros for each employee working more than 16 hours during the week. This can be done quite simply through the VAT system.
