Environmentalists announce the formation of a political group in the Senate

The 2020 senatorial elections are good news for environmentalists.

"There will be a green group in the Senate" with at least 10 elected officials, assured Senator EELV Esther Benbassa on Sunday evening in the middle of the results tabulation.

At 8 p.m., the senator already counted six victorious ecological candidates, during this ballot which renews half of the seats in the Senate, and also hoped to convince an elected representative from Haute-Corse to join them.

They would be added to five elected officials already in place in the upper house.

For its part, the majority of the right and the center has emerged strengthened from these elections marked overall by great stability.

Trump reportedly paid only $ 750 in federal taxes in the year he was elected

While the debate for the US presidential election will take place, the

New York Times

revelation on Sunday

 falls to the worst for the tenant of the White House.

According to the newspaper, Donald Trump paid only $ 750 in federal taxes in 2016, the year he was elected, and as much in 2017. In total, he has paid no taxes in 10 of the previous 15 years.

For Donald Trump, this information is "totally invented".

But, according to the daily, the president escaped tax "largely because he declared more losses of money than gains".

Other revelations are still to come.

Presentation on Monday of the 2021 expenditure-oriented budget proposal

With the repercussions of the health crisis on the real economic sphere, the government is no longer mindful of reducing deficits.

Supporting and reviving the economy, very weakened by the coronavirus, is now the main strategy that the executive will develop this Monday during the presentation of its draft budget for 2021. After the more than 460 billion euros put on the table this year to deal with the epidemic, the bill will focus on the recovery plan of 100 billion euros.

The chosen strategy could not be clearer for Jean Castex: to open wide the floodgates of spending to find in 2022 the “level of wealth before the crisis”.
