Taxpayers Associates warns once again about French debt

Founded in 1990, the Contribuables Associés association quickly established itself as a sentinel of French taxation. Since its founding, it has tried to educate about the issues of public debt while regularly raising the alarm on the dangers of imprudent management of public finances. Recognized as a public utility, this liberal association has one objective: to strive to guarantee that each euro collected from citizens is used judiciously.

In 2023, French public debt crossed a historic threshold which the country could well have done without. On March 31, 2023, the announcement: France’s public debt exceeded 3,000 billion euros. A few months later, in November 2023, Contribuables Associés launched its documentary film on YouTube.

“Trois Mille Billion”: the dazzling success of a shocking documentary

The film “Three Trillions: The Secrets of a Failed State” is a striking expose of the French public debt. By retracing the history of this debt since the Giscard years, the documentary highlights the excesses of an administration that has lost sight of financial responsibility for fifty years. With a debt representing more than 44,000 euros per citizen in 2023, this financial burden is a threat for current and future generations.

This film created an unprecedented phenomenon despite the difficult subject matter.. In just three weeks, it attracted a massive audience on YouTube and was close to one million views on November 24, 2023. By the time you read this article, it will obviously have passed this symbolic milestone. A success worthy of the best YouTubers in France! Enough to confirm the growing concern of the French about the public debt. His educational approach and his plea for more prudent management of public finances resonate with the current concerns of citizens.

Distinguished guests to convince of the urgency to better manage public finances

In order to convince as many people as possible, Contribuables Associés did not make this documentary in its own corner. Being private would not have worked in front of the public. The association therefore interviewed, and filmed, big names in French economics and politics. Edouard Balladur, former Prime Minister, François Escalle, former rapporteur of the Court of Auditors… the guests, aware of the details of the real situation of French finances, provide a clear and precise vision of the management of public money. And the observation is clear: it is catastrophic.

Available for free access on Youtube, on the official channel of Contribuables Associés, the film continues its educational role. It remains to be seen whether decision-makers, and in particular elected officials, will look at it and take it into account…
