Well he says that a large part of the taxes will go to repaying the debt (therefore implying his interests ...)

Read the source of the curve: http://www.dettepublique.org/ everything is summarized in the intro:
Between 1973 and 2008, just for interest on the public debt, we paid 1320 billion euros!
The rest is also interesting;
Indeed, since 1973, the state has voluntarily dispossessed of its fundamental duty to issue useful currency to citizens, money that our economy needs, and the state borrows from private banks, to which it then pays huge interest. In the age of "faltering purchasing power" and "empty coffers", it is no longer acceptable that our money, resulting from our work, does not belong to us. We suffer the consequences of this betrayal every day: degradation of employment and public services, endless race for growth, destruction of the environment, etc.
We therefore suggest that you act through citizen mobilization, by post and electronic petition, to restore the legitimate rights of Nations
to issue their own currency.
I think this graph simply shows that it increases much more because of interest than deficits ...but it is politically incorrect to say so and to question the system ... it is better to attack the poor civil servants than the rich bankers ...

Well no because "we" still reimburse part of it ... and apparently it is well balanced ... except that with interest it is not balanced ... and it never will be! All taxpayers in an indebted country therefore have banks as a macro ...
