The project of the Nupes of a taxation of the "superprofits" of the companies "does not meet the conditions" fixed to be able to be the subject of a referendum of shared initiative (RIP), decided this Tuesday the Constitutional Council.
The Nupes wanted to be able to submit to a citizen consultation its bill, presented a month ago and signed by 240 parliamentarians, aimed at taxing the “crisis profiteers” at the heart of lively political debates.
"Capitalist rent is well protected", criticizes the Insoumis Eric Coquerel
In the viewfinder of the left alliance: large companies with a turnover of more than 750 million euros and profits more than 25% higher than the average of those made between 2017 and 2019, which would be taxed with 20% to 33% until the end of 2025.
But the decision of the Constitutional Council cut short its hope of a referendum, without even going to the next stage of the RIP procedure, which required the collection of nearly 5 million signatures of support.
“I do not understand the opinion” of the Constitutional Council, reacted the rebellious deputy Eric Coquerel on Twitter.
"Between the impediment of the RIP and the 49.3 which deprives us of putting it to the vote, the capitalist rent is well protected".
