Since the reshuffle of his government, Emmanuel Macron and Elisabeth Borne have been tearing their hair out to find osmosis among the majority and his opponents, determined for some to put a spoke in their wheels. And the probable consequence of this equation with several unknowns, certain lieutenants of the Head of State are trying sometimes risky proposals. As the Politico site indicates, Bruno Le Maire, after splitting an announcement on his own renewal at the microphone of France Inter, embarked on a promise with risky contours. He has indeed said that he would review the Egalim law which limits food promotions to -34%. The Minister of the Economy launched:I propose that we raise this threshold to 50% so that there are discount prices for all those who need it“.
Problem, this somewhat risky promise failed in the ear of an Emmanuel Macron who only very moderately appreciated it. A minister present at a meeting on purchasing power held recently at the Élysée revealed what the reaction of the President of the Republic had been: “The Head of State himself would have dismissed the proposal in ‘fifteen seconds’, explaining in essence to Le Maire that the measure ‘challenged five years of policy in favor of better remuneration for farmers“. A monumental snub for the head of Bercy. “Now that the elections are over, you let us go on food prices“, scolded Christiane Lambert, the president of the National Federation of Farmers’ Unions.
Bruno Le Maire, who embodies the “right-wing surety” of the Head of State, convincing in the eyes of the Elysée tenant in his role as Minister of the Economy, Finance and Relaunch of France, will also have a central role to assume in the coming months. Because in addition to the health crisis and the war in Ukraine, another worrying subject awaits Bruno Le Maire: that of galloping inflation, which is hitting the French hard and in a way never seen before.
