Of course someone is scared this Libra thing could actually work after all:

France Calls for Central Bank Review of Facebook Cryptocurrency

Quote

Facebook Inc.s ambitious plan to roll out its own cryptocurrency ran into immediate political opposition in Europe, with calls for tighter regulation of the social-media giant.
French Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire said the digital currency known as Libra shouldnt be seen as a replacement for traditional currencies.
It is out of question that Libra become a sovereign currency, LeMaire said in an interview on Europe 1 radio. It cant and it must not happen.

They aren't wrong though. It can not become a sovereign currency as it is centralized garbage by a company.They can call it permissioned all they want, it's worthless. The Libra garbage absolutely does not need blockchain in any way, but there will be many gullible kool-aid drinkers falling for this scam.
