“We are the only political offer to have presented a project not only quantified in expenditure, but also to forecast our revenue”, added Pierre Jouvet. According to figures from the New Popular Front, additional public spending would reach 150 billion euros at the end of 2027 in the event of an election, for revenues also estimated at 150 billion euros, thanks mainly to an increase in taxation.

“95% of French people will not see their tax slip change”according to him. “We assume to say that in this country, multimillionaires and billionaires will pay a little more taxes,” evoking “an increase of on average 3% to 5% in taxes for the multimillionaires of this country”.

“We assume to say that those who in recent years have earned a lot of money on the backs of everyone else will have to pay more taxes,” he finished.
