“if we want to redistribute more wealth, we must create it”, defends Prisca Thévenot

Discussions on the budget resume in the National Assembly this Monday, November 4. At the same time, Antoine Armand, Minister of the Economy, says he wants to increase the number of hours worked. “This debate has been settled (…) the French people do not agree with him (…) for many people, working longer is not possible, because the body cannot not follow. That's what they don't want to hear, and that's why they lost the elections.”estimates Louis Boyard, LFI/NFP deputy for Val-de-Marne.

“You also have to put things in context and have nuance”replies Prisca Thévenot, who affirms that it is not a question of making people who have “hard jobs”. “It’s about saying that yes, if we want to redistribute more wealth, we must create it, and to create it, we must not blabber, we must create it”defends the MP.
