11 novembre 1918 Sur six hommes français de 20 à 40 ans en 1914, il n'en reste que deux indemnes à ce moment-là. Un a été tué, un est mutilé à vie dans sa chair ou son âme, deux ont été blessés plus ou moins gravement. L'espérance de vie masculine est passée de 48 à 38 ans en quatre ans.

Breakingviews - EU is on wrong track for effective drone defence
Brussels wants to coordinate a defensive shield of unmanned aerial vehicles by 2027. Its approach is bureaucratic and slow. A serious plan should include the UK, create a 1 bln euro solidarity fund for countries closer to Russia, and tap Ukraine’s startup expertise.

French fiscal chaos lacks European gendarmes
Prime Minister Sebastien Lecornu on Tuesday suspended a key pension reform and surrendered fiscal responsibility to the country's raucous parliament. Debt may keep rising until the 2027 elections or beyond. And France is too big and messy for the EU and ECB to constrain.

Breakingviews - The case for a big, one-off wealth tax
Cash-strapped Western states must invest in their militaries and green energy. With the top 1% increasing its grip on wealth, and paying little tax, soaking the rich looks justified. But a chunky one-off levy makes more sense than an annual charge, which is vulnerable to dodging.

Macronism implosion puts Le Pen in a tight spot
French PM Sébastien Lecornu has resigned after only a month. Far-right leader Marine Le Pen is calling for new elections. If they leave her more responsible for tackling France’s 3.5 trln euro debt, it may hurt her chances of replacing embattled President Emmanuel Macron.

EU bank stablecoin push is better late than never
Nine lenders including ING are launching a euro version of the digital currency. EU banks’ fear of stablecoin growth has been amplified by the US government’s push. The new scheme may suffer from concerns over stability and lack of user interest, but doing nothing is riskier.

The digital bank set up its EU base in Paris and is aiming for 10 mln local customers by 2027. It is taking on BoursoBank, SocGen's online unit with 8 mln users already. Revolut is poaching staff, but victory will require clients to trust it with a larger share of their money.
