Dutch minister warns ECB against aiding France, cites 'total poverty' risk

Dutch Finance Minister Eelco Heinen publicly opposes any ECB intervention to support French debt, arguing it would lead to 'total poverty' in the eurozone. This signals growing political resistance to monetary easing for fiscally stressed members, potentially complicating ECB policy and adding pressure on French spreads. The statement is a political stance, not a policy change, but it raises uncertainty about future crisis response.
