” When the Uber lobbyist admits having helped Emmanuel Macron to seek funds for his 2017 presidential campaign, that’s not serious. When Emmanuel Macron favors a private American company that does tax optimization, which puts place “kill switch” systems, it’s not serious. When we have leaders in our country who, for years, have been selling France to pieces, that’s not serious”continues the MEP.
“Emmanuel Macron spent 10 years selling French industry. He does not defend French interests”further castigated Jordan Bardella, citing in particular the sale of the Alstom energy branch to General Electric, “a state scandal” according to him.
“The subject is not to ban or not to ban Uber. The subject is to have, through lobbying practices, implemented regulations extremely favorable to Uber to the detriment of French taxis and craftsmen who paid a blind Licence.”
