France doesn't need “reforms” though, quite the opposite.

France needs a project, and a project behind which the French population can rally. Because unpopular “reforms” carried on by centrists with a Thatcher envy is all we got over the past 25 years and that's what got us where we are now, with no growth and a decimated political landscape.

The said can be said about Germany and the UK as well, by the way.
