Green Fund, tackle to the left-wing opposition, or “the door that is not closed” to the taxation of superprofits… The interview with the Prime Minister in Le Parisien/Today in France caused a lot of reaction to the Summer Universities of the Insoumis, to Chateauneuf-sur-Isere near Valence, in the Drôme.
>> Taxation of superprofits: Elisabeth Borne does not “close the door” to this option, but prefers corporate initiatives
Asked first about the energy prices which are soaring all over Europe, Elisabeth Borne promised that the executive would not “not let energy prices explode” for households: “The French can be reassured, we will amortize the increases“, she indicated.
The Prime Minister also claimed not to “close the door” to a taxation of “ssuper profit“companies, while preferring only the company that can”lowers prices for the consumer and gives purchasing power to its employees“: “Nobody would understand that companies generate exceptional profits even though the French may be worried about their purchasing power“, she specifies.
So many announcements, before the return to politics, which left the rebellious activists pensive during the “AmFis d’été”, the party’s summer universities, in the Drôme. There are those who see the glass half full, like Thierry: “Saying does not exclude! It’s always to say ‘I don’t want to hear about it, it’s not possible…’ There is a step forward, so indeed, it reinforces our position that we must be heard, claim, move and show that we are many“, he assures. Behind him, on the lawn, Valérie shares this opinion: “It’s never too late to do well. And we are happy to have brought, we, as rebellious France, to Nupes, a proposal which will have hit the mark and which it will have finally adopted. Good, we will have won“, she rejoices.
But other remarks in the interview do not pass. Like when Elisabeth Borne implies that France is rebellious “stirs up anger and wants chaos” for the country in the columns of the Parisian. Julie gets annoyed:She should come here. She would find it very friendly and not chaotic at all. Maybe she would change her mind…“
Still, the “mistrust” is in order: many activists put these announcements from the Prime Minister into perspective. Like the first of them: Jean-Luc Mélenchon. On the podium, Sunday, August 28, the one who is “withdrawn, not retired “of political life did not mince his words:”Elisabeth Borne says nonsense! Since when does the government observe companies’ commitments to force them to keep them? It is in the relationship between trade unions and employers’ organizations that such control takes place after signing agreements.” And swipe: “We do the doors, we tend to push them down but, let’s face it, we’ll do ‘knock knock’.”
An analysis shared by these crusader activists: “I am wary. It’s a little weird: is it a communication thing, a manipulation thing? Is it true ? I am waiting to see“, blows Valérie. Antoine, he adds: “Cis an empty advertisement. If they tax superprofits at 0.01%, well, that’s a joke. We are waiting for the bottom!“Details will arrive on Monday at another summer university, that of Medef, where the Prime Minister is to deliver a speech on sobriety and energy transition.
