“There is a social bomb ready to be ignited”, warns Fabien Roussel

The Disclose investigation site claims that the children of the Minister for Energy Transition, Agnès Pannier-Runacher, are associated with a company that is linked to an oil company that does tax optimization. It is the minister’s father who passed on this heritage to them. Are we facing a scandal? “Tax optimization is legal. But it is a way of paying taxes that all French people pay, on inheritance tax in particular”declares Fabien Roussel, deputy of the North and national secretary of the French Communist Party, guest of the “4V” on France 2Wednesday, November 9. When asked if there is a “Mélenchon problem” with the Nupes, Fabien Roussel evokes “strategy differences”.

Downgrading

Fabien Roussel challenges the government in the face of the “inflation tsunami”: “why (doesn’t it) create a tax shield for companies, for municipalities, for those who live in modest housing, so that there are no regulations on charges to be paid”proposes the national secretary of the PCF. “There is a social bomb that is ready to be ignited because of this misery that will catch up with workers. It’s downgrading”he adds.
