Matthieu Pigasse presented a negative assessment of ten years of Macronism. According to IMF figures published the day of his message, France was expected to register growth of 0.4% in 2026, among the lowest in the world, he wrote. He felt that Emmanuel Macron and his government had to answer for a policy that, in his view, had left the country fractured, public services weakened, poverty and inequality at historic levels, as well as a youth worried about their future. He also labeled the promise of “trickle-down” as a lie. Pigasse believed that the radical right and Marine Le Pen were proposing an economic policy similar to that of Macronism, but accompanied, in his view, by hatred. He called for another policy driven by a radical left in government and for massive investments in education, health, industry, and ecological transition. To finance these priorities, he proposed advocating at the European level for monetary creation dedicated to public investment and converting public debts held by the Eurosystem into perpetual debts at zero interest rate. He also advocated for increases in low wages, a strengthening of wage negotiations, and tying public aid to commitments on employment and remuneration. Finally, he called for greater contributions from large fortunes and capital income to fund common goods. According to him, growth should benefit workers and those neglected by the system, with the goal of better-shared wealth and rebuilt public services. #Macronisme #France #Croissance (translated)
