Less than five months before the presidential election, it was a question of denouncing “the crazy money” which escapes the resources of the State. Forty Attac militants deployed rubalises imitating a crime scene to denounce tax evasion. Sakakini Boulevard, in the same place, there is a Mac Donald’s restaurant and a gas station Total. The activists did not hinder the activity of the two sites.
However, they “took” two child seats from Mac Do and two banners from the Total station, that they went to deliver a little later, a little before noon, in front of the Bouches-du-Rhône prefecture. “Since the state is not going to get the money where it is, we are the ones doing it. Very symbolically.”
“The government is making the most vulnerable pay for the crisis”
Raphael Pradeau, national spokesperson for ATTAC was in Marseille while other actions were carried out in France also in the direction of BNP Paribas and Amazon. “Very clearly the government has chosen to make the most vulnerable pay for the crisis with the reform of unemployment insurance. At the same time, to use the Macronian term, it does nothing or not much against the tax evasion practiced systematically by multinationals. It’s unbearable “.
- According to ATTAC, tax evasion represents 80 to 100 billion euros for public revenues each year.
