The former interior minister, who made his political return this Sunday, said he was firmly opposed to any increase in taxes as suggested by the new Prime Minister Michel Barnier.
During his political return on Sunday in Tourcoing (North), Gérald Darmanin said he was completely against a tax increase. “Many of us will not be able to support a government that would increase taxes”launched the former Minister of the Interior, two days before Michel Barnier’s general policy declaration to the National Assembly.
“I support the government of Michel Barnier appointed by the President of the Republic”, declared the ex-minister, now MP for the North. But “I know that many of us will not be able to support a government that would increase taxes: that would be contrary to everything positive we have done for the French”. “I understand that this tax increase would only concern the wealthiest French people, but the money of the wealthiest must go into job creation, not into public coffers”declared Gérald Darmanin.
For his political return to his stronghold of Tourcoing, the former host of Beauvau was surrounded by several political figures such as Gabriel Attal, Sébastien Lecornu and Xavier Bertrand.
On Sunday, 27 deputies from the Macronist group Ensemble pour la République (EPR) opposed, in a text published by The Tribuneto any increase in taxes.
