Pierre Moscovici

He'd previously worked for a firm that cut glass for the museum, so he knew the building well, and on the morning of the theft wore the same white smock every museum employee did, which made him completely inconspicuous.

He took the painting off the wall, took it out of its frame in a stairwell, hid it under his clothes, and headed for a side door.

When the door turned out to be locked, he removed the doorknob with a screwdriver.

A passing plumber, presumably trying to be helpful, then opened the door for him with a pair of pliers.

If nothing changes, their calculation points to the fact that the spending quota soon, in national economic terms, is over 60% of BNP.

About immigration as a solution, the right through its chairman, Pierre Moscovici, said that it is not a miracle payment.

The net contribution to the state finances of immigration is weakly negative.

And then I suspect that they have counted kindly.

If you think about how much the servicing costs are now for France, it's higher than what is spent on education and defense.

Uh, there was a comment from a man that we used to speak to quite often during the last Eurozone crisis, and that was Pierre Moscovici.

He was the finance minister at the time, and he's been talking about France is probably too big to fail, but not too big for the markets to punish, which is what we're seeing right now.

France is being punished.

Apparently, according to Mediapart, he wrote that all banks are held by the Jews, and in another exchange, he allegedly claimed top French government jobs went to people who put Israel and banking interests ahead of French interests.

Some of the politicians he targeted, Laurent Fabius, Manuel Valls, but also Pierre Moscovici, who people in Brussels will know as the former, uh, economic commissioner.

So Moscovici actually spoke with our colleagues, and he told them that National Rally would really have to vigorously show that this is false.

I think what's really interesting about this, Zoya, is that Marine Le Pen has dedicated sort of two decades of her career to trying to clean up the image of the National Rally.

And none of that is to say that there is not a huge problem with anti-Semitism, including on the extreme left in France, who are pretending today that they are white as snow and that all the problems are with the extreme right.

They also have huge problems, starting with the leader of La France Insoumise, Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who made similar anti-Semitic comments about Pierre Moscovici.

who's been a minister and also European commissioner, in the 2000s about him talking the language of international finance, which is barely coded anti-Semitism, Moscovici being Jewish.

And you find Bardella making similar comments in this report.
