“The question is ‘whose taxes are we raising’?”reacted Wednesday, September 18 on franceinfo Ian Brossat, senator of Paris and spokesperson for the Communist Party. Michel Barnier mentioned on Tuesday the hypothesis of a tax increase, without specifying in what form.

“If we increase compulsory levies on the poorest, it would be profoundly scandalous”adds Ian Brossat, who is not, however, opposed to the fact that “The big ones pay big, which means that we increase the very high incomes, the very high assets” and large companies.

For the senator, this situation is also “terribly ironic”. “The same people who are now considering tax increases explained to us throughout the legislative campaign that the NFP constituted a terrible danger because the left wanted to increase taxes.” She also translates a “confession”, since “if they are there today”it is because “for seven years, Emmanuel Macron, Bruno Le Maire and their friends have literally ruined the State by multiplying gifts to the richest, leading to an extremely significant increase in debt”.
