Honestly, from what I’ve seen, I actually agree with Macron here. France’s debt is unsustainable, something needs to be done, and nobody wants to do anything. Both Le Penne and Melenchon are calling for policies that will increase the debt burden, yet any attempt to reduce it is getting struck down at the mere thought. A retirement age of 62 in a country with an average life expectency of 82 (and many people living over that) is crazy to me, especially at a time when there are more and more old people compared to working-age people. That isn’t sustainable, but any mention of raising it gets insane backlash. You can’t really raise taxes much more, they’re already high, you can for wealthy people, but that will only go part of the way, and with the new NATO targets, if nothing is done, I feel like France will become another Greece.
You can raise taxes for rich people AND remove public founding for enterprises.
LFI ( melanchon) proposes these two :
The “zucman tax” aims to tax the 1800 richest french families at a rate of 2%, Wich would bring 40billion.
for public founding, a senatorial report showed that 211 billion in tax cuts or direct founding were given ( without any requirements of employment or anything) to enterprises (some of which layer of ppl and gave out dividends while being under public founding).
Those could be recalculated.
Yeah, and it’s 1800 families.
It should be noted that the proposal was rejected, deemed infeasible meanwhile our previous PM was saying that we NEED to remove 2 public hollyday…

Nothing justify sending police to beat protestors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNfuduZvjwY
What you say just prove you don’t know anything about France and economy globally speaking.
A French citizen.

2%. 40 BILLION.
This will never not blow my freaking mind. No matter how we illustrate it, it’s still hard to fathom.
