“The government’s text seemed balanced, it was unbalanced by a form of ideology of permanent fiscal revenge”reacted Macronist Mathieu Lefèvre, after the vote of deputies who expanded and perpetuated the surtax on high incomes, which the government wanted to be temporary.
For the Minister of the Budget, Laurent Saint-Martin, “by not knowing how to take exceptional measures over time which will enable us to straighten out our accounts”we risk“send completely contradictory signals”. Taxpayers must “know (…) that there will be an end” to such measures, to have ” visibility “he pleaded.
“You are asking everyone to make efforts (…) in a lasting manner. And the only ones to whom you say “Don’t worry, it’s exceptional!” are those who have more than enough to live on.”for his part, asserted the president of the finance committee, Eric Coquerel (La France insoumise, LFI), to the government.
« Victoire ! »rejoiced shortly after midnight, on the X platform, the boss of LFI deputies, Mathilde Panot. “No 49.3 must go back on this achievement! »called the first secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure.
” I hope “said, on the other hand, Mathieu Lefèvre, “that the government will not retain this idea of sustainability” in the final version of the text, which he will probably have adopted via article 49.3 of the Constitution.
“I think that Mr. Barnier has already planned to trigger 49.3, and that he is making fun of the world”commented for his part the National Rally deputy Jean-Philippe Tanguy, regretting that the government “don’t negotiate anything” et “did not support any amendment from anywhere in the opposition”.
