“If we weren’t in a presidential monarchy, there would be this tax,” says Raquel Garrido

“If we were in a system that is truly democratic, there would already be a tax on super-profits”, denounced Sunday, September 4 on franceinfo the deputy La France insoumise Raquel Garrido. The government, for several weeks, has refused to put in place a tax on the profits of large groups like Total, in a context of energy tension and high inflation.

“Everyone says, whether it’s the IMF or the United Nations, that this tax on super-profits is absolutely necessary, and the French are mostly in favor of it”says the MP. “If we weren’t in a presidential monarchy, there would be a tax on super-profits”.

“If there is a lack of hearing and willingness to co-construct, it is clearly on the side of the executive.”

La France insoumise, within the framework of the Nupes, will once again propose this proposal in the counter-budget that it will present in the coming weeks. According to Raquel Garrido, the fact that the chairman of the Finance Committee, Eric Coquerel, is part of the ranks of the Nupes must push the present majority to negotiate: “There is no other choice than to go through a dialogue that includes rebellious France”.
