“This text is dangerous”, considers the president of the LFI group in the National Assembly Mathilde Panot

The text on the protection of purchasing power which arrives Monday, July 18 at the National Assembly is a text “dangerous”estimated on franceinfo the president of the LFI group in the National Assembly Mathilde Panot.

“In reality, through this text, we are acting on something which is a drop in purchasing power for people”believes Mathilde Panot. “What bothers me deeply with this text is that it acts on the refusal to increase wages, that it acts on the refusal to dip into the private treasury and prefers to dip into the public treasury…”lists Mathilde Panot.

“In short, it is not structurally adapted and will continue in particular to dig the hole for Social Security.”
