Emmanuel Macron announced new aid to compensate for the high price of fuel, “limited to workers“and to the most modest, and who could reach “100 euros per car per year”. Fabien Roussel regrets that the president announces “means-based aid. What will everyone else get?”asks the national secretary of the Communist Party. “The 20 million employees in our country will have nothing more this evening. Emmanuel Macron rejects out of hand the possibility of indexing salaries to inflation, while calling for a social conference without demanding on the part of companies that all salaries be indexed to inflation. This evening, the president announced nothing new in this area.”
