The taboo of tax increases ready to be broken, the impeachment motion deemed admissible… The morning news of Wednesday, September 18

The themes:

Is Michel Barnier ready to bury the taboo of tax increases set by Emmanuel Macron since the beginning of his first term? The Prime Minister mentions the need to “move towards greater tax justice”. Politically, could Michel Barnier force tax increases to be swallowed by his potential supporters, namely the Republicans and the Macronist central bloc? What would be the attitude of Emmanuel Macron who would see an emblematic aspect of the record he claims called into question?

The office of the National Assembly has therefore deemed the motion of impeachment admissible Emmanuel Macron’s candidacy filed by La France insoumise thanks to the favorable vote of the entire left. Does the fact of not having appointed Lucie Castets to Matignon justify the referral of the head of state to the High Court of Justice? What exactly does the text of the Constitution say?
