French pessimism


Quoting from today's Eurointelligence daily bulletin:


French more pessimistic about the future
According to the annual poll of Opinionway  cited by Les Echos the French are more pessimistic than ever about their future, hardly believe that the young will do better than their parents,  and that the politicians can handle the crisis or do anything about their concerns. 

66% of the polled prefer experts rather than politicians to decide on what is best for the country, while 46% believe that France has to protect itself against today’s world. Only hospitals (82%) and the police (62%) have the confidence of the polled. There is also one surprising result: 53% want the state to give companies more freedom, and the private company is the only organisation which gains in confidence.
