The debates began in the National Assembly, Monday, July 18, concerning the bill on purchasing power. The presidential party is seeking a majority and hopes to regain the support of several opposition members to enact the law.
The discussions promise to be heated in the National Assembly in the coming days. MPs debate the Purchasing Power Bill. The government would like to launch a “fuel bonus”, with a check that can go from 100 to 300 euros and who would be given to the most modest users using their car to go to work. Raising the index point for civil servants to 3.5% is also under consideration. However, some regret seeing an increase lower than the rate of inflation.
In addition to the measures on the price of gasoline and on wages, a whole new bonus could see the light of day. This measure is not unanimous for business leaders, who sometimes prefer to find an alternative. “It was easier for us, there are 25 of us, to make a gradual increase than to have to take out 75,000 euros in one shot”says Stéphane Arnault, business manager.
