Questioned in the 23h of franceinfo, the senator of the PCF, Fabien Gay, is worried about the abolition of the audiovisual license fee and wants to defend the public service and its independence.
Asked about the abolition of the audiovisual fee voted on Saturday July 23 in the National Assembly, the Communist senator of Seine-Saint-Denis, Fabien Gay, explains that “with the Communists, we always defend the public service, and in particular the public audiovisual service, because when 90% of the media belong to 8 billionaires, there is also a need for independence“. He also announced that an amendment would be taken to the Senate”to revert this change“.
The bills on purchasing power and the budget must soon arrive in the hands of the senators, mainly on the right. “We will continue to support the increase in the minimum wage, the fact that social minima and pensions must be indexed to inflation – since even if there is a 4% increase, we already have inflation at 5.2% and we could end the year at 8%“, develops Fabien Gay, who therefore believes that the government’s proposals are largely insufficient.
