Clémence Guetté stated that the National Rally had sought to prevent a vote on the increase of the minimum wage to 1,700 euros net per month, proposed during the parliamentary niche of La France insoumise at the National Assembly. She indicated that the group had also presented texts concerning the Overseas Territories, AESH (accompanied students with disabilities), victims of sexual violence, and young people from ASE (Child Welfare Services). According to her, the RN opposed the increase in the minimum wage and wanted to avoid having to publicly take this position. Guetté accused its elected officials of slowing down the debates and causing incidents throughout the day. The session ended at midnight, she wrote, and the deputies were unable to vote on the measure. #SMIC #PouvoirDAchat #Politique (translated)

Gabriel Lattanzio asked Anasse to reread the message he quoted at 2 a.m. before attributing statements to him. He reproached him for first questioning his mathematical skills, then claiming that the debate did not pertain to a calculator issue, while according to him, Anasse had lost his way in his calculations. Lattanzio specifically pointed out a passage of 15 billion to 140 billion, which is a multiplication by nine, without acknowledgment of error in his opinion. He contested the claim that 120 or 140 billion euros in dividends would be paid in one year: in his view, Anasse had doubled an amount of 60 billion paid over a quarter—which he would have presented as a semester—assuming that the payments were the same as in other periods. He added that dividends in France were concentrated over a particular period and that one could not simply multiply the figure by two. He also argued that a minimum wage raised to 2,000 euros would concern 10 million people, not 2 million, including those earning 1,600 or 1,700 euros. He reproached a close associate of Anasse for not distinguishing between gross salary and net salary, and claimed that Anasse was counting the same sum twice by repeating that the measure would represent "half of the aid." Finally, Lattanzio asked what would allow replacing the figures on pay slips with "political will." #CalculsErronés #DélireEconomique #AnalyseCritique (translated)
