Guest of Europe 1 Weekend, Olivia Grégoire explains why the government does not intend to lower the VAT on fossil fuels, even though prices at the pump are reaching peaks. "We are not going to start lowering VAT when we have just put 30 billion on the ecological transition". For the Secretary of State for the Social, Solidarity and Responsible Economy, "this is not the solution [to bring down prices], since there is no guarantee that the reduction in VAT will be passed on to the pump , [...] whereas it is a measure that is extremely expensive."
