During the #Melenchon2027 meeting in Clermont-Ferrand, Marianne Maximi, a deputy from Puy-de-Dôme and vice-president of the parliamentary group La France insoumise, stated that the government budget was not aimed at reducing pressure and that children would be on the front line of its social policy. She attributed to the government a record of 10 million poor people, one third of whom are children, and criticized it for planning 54 billion euros in budget cuts without affecting the wealthiest. She also accused the government of advocating the trickle-down theory with the support of the far right, which she said opposed her group's proposals for taxing the rich. Finally, she labeled the RN as an extension of Macronism. (translated)

Alexandre Jardin called for the dismissal of deputies who, according to him, were quietly proposing amendments aimed at increasing taxes. He stated that taxpayers were at their breaking point and that the country was already the most taxed in the world, citing François Hollande as one of the responsible parties he pointed out. He also argued that high-ranking officials elected to lead parties that favored tax increases lived off public spending and had a fundamentally taxing approach. According to him, citizens found themselves in an impossible situation because they had handed over the keys to power. He finally concluded that, without RefCitoyen, they would remain defenseless. #Taxes #Politique #France (translated)

Fede Sturzenegger stated that the fiscal cost corresponded to public spending and not to the taxes that financed it. He asserted that if the Government reduced spending, it would need to collect less and then it could be debated which taxes to lower. He defended the RIGI because, he said, it had a significant impact on production, and he referred to Mirrlees' optimal taxation theory to argue that it was beneficial to reduce taxes where elasticity was greater. Sturzenegger described part of public spending as useless and corrupt and claimed that reducing it would allow for a reallocation of resources towards production. He also anticipated that President Javier Milei would push for further spending cuts and new tax reductions. #Economía #Impuestos #GastoPúblico (translated)
