The government, goaded by presidential candidates into responding to large job cuts at the airplane maker Airbus, said it was ready to pump cash into the company and shake up a Franco-German power-sharing pact. Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin also called on the parent of Airbus, the European Aeronautic Defense and Space Company, to abandon paying a dividend this year to its shareholders, which include the French government, after announcing plans to cut 10,000 jobs. Some 4,300 of those jobs are in France.
