what Bayrou’s wages could bring to the left

Largely absent from François Bayrou's general policy speech, taxation was nevertheless at the heart of the negotiations between Bercy ministers Eric Lombard (Economy) and Amélie de Montchalin (Public Accounts) and left-wing parliamentarians last week. Pressed by socialist deputies evoking “a lack of commitment”the Prime Minister began to provide some elements during the question/answer session around 7 p.m. Tuesday evening. To obtain a non-censorship agreement with the elected socialists, the government of François Bayrou has put on the table an increase in taxes on the richest people and companies by 17.3 billion euros for 2025 according to our information.
