And now there is no escape from the difficult reality that the budget deficit remains massive, at more than 4% of GDP in 2011. Except for creating 60,000 new jobs in education (following controversial cuts last year) and restoring the right (rescinded under Sarkozy) to retire at 60 for roughly 200,000 individuals, Hollande’s administration has barely any room to maneuver, and severe economic measures will have to be introduced in the 2013 budget.
而如今也面临着无法逃避一个严峻的事实：2011年的预算赤字依然庞大，规模约为GDP的4%。除了在教育界新增了6000个职位（在去年的争议极大的裁员之后）以及恢复了近20万人（由萨科齐废除的）60岁退休权以外，奥朗德政府的腾挪空间近乎用尽，必须在2013年预算案中实施严厉的经济手段。。
