France’s outgoing culture minister Aurélie Filipetti has joined Economy Minister Arnaud Montebourg in blasting President François Hollande’s economic policy and declaring that she will not be part of the reshuffled government to be announced Tuesday. Ex-education minister Benoît Hamon is also among the rebels.
The austerity policies being followed “everywhere in Europe” are “leading to an impasse”, Filipetti told RMC radio and BFMTVon Tuesday, going on to declare that the Socialist Party owes it to its voters to change course.
