The patroness of the Rassemblement national deputies Marine Le Pen estimated on Sunday on BFMTV that Emmanuel Macron had "bought his election" thanks to "whatever it costs" during the Covid-19 epidemic and that he was ending it despite the 'inflation.
“Emmanuel Macron bought his election whatever the cost and today he says + now that I am elected, we are going to cut the taps +”, judged the presidential finalist.
A “provisional” discount
She was reacting to a statement by Gabriel Attal, Minister Delegate for Public Accounts, in Le Parisien on Saturday: “we went from what it costs to how much it costs”.
"Mr. Attal is there to get the French used to the measures to help purchasing power stop," she said.
Asked about this topic, the RN deputy from Pas-de-Calais mentioned the “provisional” rebate of 18 cents at the pump, when she proposes “structural measures”.
A “super-profits tax”
Among these, a "0% VAT on a basket of 100 basic necessities" or the reduction of VAT from "20 to 5.5%" on "fuel, fuel oil and electricity", which it wants to finance by a "tax on super-profits".
"We have tabled an amendment in the Finance Committee on this subject", she indicated, while the deputies will examine this week in various committees the bill on purchasing power, before its passage in the hemicycle from 18 July.
Marine Le Pen also declared that the RN deputies would vote in favor of further tax exemption for overtime, a measure to which the Minister of the Economy said he was open.
