Emmanuel Macron - Euro 2024 - European politics - France national football team - Kylian Mbappe - Moody's - Political gridlock

From political gridlock to a shocking exit at Euro 2024, France faces challenges on and off the field. Learn more here!

France faced dual disappointments at Euro 2024, both on the football pitch and in the political arena. In the semifinal match against Spain, Lamine Yamal's wonder goal wasn't enough to secure a victory, leading to a 2-1 defeat for the French team. Off the field, Moody's raised concerns about France's post-election debt outlook, highlighting the potential impact of a hung parliament on the country's financial stability. The aversion to coalitions in French politics adds another layer of complexity, with the risk of a government struggling to reduce the debt burden.
