Meetings of Zemmour and Mélenchon: “Two visions of France will clash”
“Sunday [5 décembre], in Paris, there will be two visions of France which will once again be opposed “, declares the deputy Adrien Quatennens. Jean-Luc Mélenchon will indeed hold a meeting at the Grande Arche space, in the La Défense business district, on Sunday afternoon. At the same time, Eric Zemmour will hold his first meeting as a declared presidential candidate, at the Zénith.
“On the one hand”, There are “a fantasized France, which in fact never existed, [celle] of Mr. Zemmour, who divides and creates a diversion on major subjects “ and “on the other hand, with Jean-Luc Mélenchon, we talk about the real problems”, assures Adrien Quatennens. For him, “Today, the slope of the events is necessarily ‘to make France of any wood’ to meet the great common challenges” like “climate change” and “the eradication of poverty”. “This is what we have to do, I think it’s more exciting than the campaign clip on Beethoven’s 7th”, launched the coordinator of La France insoumise, the day after Eric Zemmour’s campaign statement in a video broadcast on the Youtube platform.
Those earning “less than 4000 euros per month” will pay “less tax”
“If you earn less than 4,000 euros per month and per person, with Jean-Luc Mélenchon [au pouvoir], you will pay less tax “, promises Adrien Quatennens. “Today, in proportion to their income, not in value, the very rich pay less tax than the middle class, which bears most of the tax effort on its back.”, adds the deputy from the North, to support his point. “What we want to do is move from a system which is today at five tax brackets, which concentrates all the effort on the middle class, to fourteen brackets, that is to say from much better to smooth, distribute the effort among all “, he specifies.
If Jean-Luc Mélenchon is elected president, there will be “a given moment when on a higher slice, we will take everything”, continues Adrien Quatennens, setting this threshold at “400,000 euros” of income per year. “There is a limit to the accumulation”, he believes.
