Could France trigger another Eurozone debt crisis?

What happened: France faces a crisis of confidence in its public finances, with borrowing costs at their highest level in more than two decades and investors demanding higher yields on French government bonds than on Italian or Greek ones. Key numbers: Public debt nearing 120 percent of GDP; deficit above 5 percent. Why it matters: With parliament divided and a presidential election approaching, agreeing on spending cuts is proving difficult, and the concern is whether France's troubles could spread across the Eurozone.
