Savings exist, abundant and first and foremost European. But they cross the Atlantic, and it is our savings that finance the power of others. Bringing them back is a political decision.
Original quote (French)
L’épargne existe, abondante et d’abord européenne. Mais elle traverse l’Atlantique, et ce sont nos économies qui financent la puissance des autres. La ramener est une décision politique.Source: assets.nationbuilder.com · archived copy
