## Reported figures

- 60 milliards d'euros

## Coverage angles

The three sides cover the same controversy over the use of Livret A to finance nuclear power, but the left approaches it as a collective rebellion against bypassing democratic debate, while the centre focuses more on the government scheme and its amounts.

**Common ground**

- The government wants to mobilize Livret A savings to finance new nuclear reactors.
- Unions, parliamentarians, and associations oppose this use.
- Opponents cite the priority of Livret A for financing social housing.

**Differences**

- The left qualifies the approach as an infringement on democratic debate, an angle less repeated by the centre, which focuses on the scheme and amounts.
- The centre mentions the raising of the Livret A cap and high school renovations, absent from left headlines.
