“I understand that this tax increase would only concern the wealthiest French people, but the money of the wealthiest must go into job creation, not into public coffers,” argued the former Minister of the Interior.
A new warning for the attention of the Prime Minister. “Many of us will not be able to support a government that would increase taxes”launched Gérald Darmanin during his return to politics, Sunday September 29, in Tourcoing (North), two days before Michel Barnier’s general policy declaration to the National Assembly.
“I support the government of Michel Barnier appointed by the President of the Republic”declared the former Minister of the Interior in front of some 500 people, including Edouard Philippe and Elisabeth Borne, gathered at the Botanical Garden of his electoral stronghold. But a tax increase “would be contrary to everything positive we have done for the French”, he said. “I understand that this tax increase would only concern the wealthiest French people, but the money of the wealthiest must go into job creation, not into public coffers”argued Gérald Darmanin.
The former mayor of Tourcoing also announced the creation of a “place of reflection, which everyone can join”called “Popular”. “Our immense responsibility is to write, for the future, the social story of the central bloc”explained the elected official from the North. “No one can accept the democratic shipwreck of popular France which throws itself into the arms of the community demagoguery of the extremes which divide us, leaving the little white people to vote for [Marine] Le Pen and p’tit Beur vote for Gaza”he said.
