Marine Le Pen wants to propose “a tax on the superprofits” of war profiteers

“The war in Ukraine has allowed a number of companies to make superprofits”assures Wednesday June 29 on franceinfo the president of the National Rally group in the National Assembly Marine Le Pen, in agreement with Emmanuel Macron who accuses gas and oil producers of being “war profiteers”. “These superprofits must be taxed in order to be able to finance measures to support the purchasing power of the French”believes Marine Le Pen.

“In Hungary, the state recovers two-thirds of the exceptional profit made by a company in wartime compared to its traditional profit”explains Marine Le Pen.

“It’s a healthy, fair approach and which obviously makes it possible not to increase the debt or to consider, as the French government seems to be doing, tax increases.”

MP RN warns against “the wall of inflation coming before us” and who will be “a tragedy for millions of French households“. “The French economy is in a catastrophic situation.” In this situation, she once again places her group in “constructive opposition”. “We will vote for anything that can help purchasing power but we must offer another choice than that of the government.”

Thus, the RN deputies will be able to vote for a possible extension of the rebate of 18 cents on fuel, even if Marine Le Pen considers that she has “already been absorbed” and that it is “not the right method” since prices at the pump have returned to what they were before the rebate. On the other hand, concerning the increase in the index point for civil servants, the MP for Pas-de-Calais asks “compensation to the nearest euro“for communities. “Otherwise what will happen? They will save money on associations, culture and sport?”
