Jean-Luc Mélenchon, a far-left presidential candidate in France, has accused Emmanuel Moulin, the head of France's central bank, of an “act of treason.” This accusation comes a day after Moulin warned that France risked being "strangled by interest rates" if it failed to address its public finances. Mélenchon stated, “The statute of limitations will not have expired by 2027; he will be prosecuted for this. I am fed up with these so-called elites who raise the alarm about a disaster they themselves want to create in order to sway the people.”
