Always talk about it, for lack of better. Since the end of April, not a minister, not a majority politician who has made an appearance without talking about purchasing power: “emergency” for the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, “first concern” for Bruno Le Maire, the Minister of the Economy, or “first challenge of this five -year term” for Gabriel Attal, the new Minister Delegate Public Accounts.
