We see in the forecasts that the deficits for the next four years remain the same. While he is boasting about having a good year, he is not telling us that he feels guilty about forecasting four bad years.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9278550\" data-originallang=\"fr\">It is clear that the government needs to tighten its belt, and we expect the minister to be more rigorous in his management.</p>",

On voit dans les pr\u00e9visions que les d\u00e9ficits pour les quatre prochaines ann\u00e9es restent identiques.
