France to breach EU deficit goal in the wake of Paris attacks

“Europe ought to understand. It’s also time the EU and the Commission understood that this struggle concerns France but also concerns Europe,” said Valls to justify the breach. France foresees to hire 5,000 new policemen and gendarmes in the next two years, 2,500 for the justice ministry and 1,000 extra border guards.

“Europe ought to understand. It’s also time the EU and the Commission understood that this struggle concerns France but also concerns Europe,” said Valls to justify the breach.
