Jean-Luc Mélenchon and the left alliance accuse the president elected to want to increase the VAT without proof. A “lie”, according to the government.
by, and
Barely a week to win the victory against an elected president, destabilized but not defeated: the challenge is great for the new Ecological and Social People’s Union (Nuts). Faced with an outgoing majority without a specific program, the right -of -the -way try to create the debate, get around the invective and force their opponent to get out of the wood by revealing, in the coming week, necessarily unpopular economic measures. Even if it means using the big means: lending Emmanuel Macron a measure which the government does not want to hear about, the increase in the value added (VAT).
In the absence of a specific program to criticize, to find a weapon of mobilization for the second round of the legislative elections, the left forces are reduced to denounce the “hidden program” of the head of state. Sunday evening, when he speaned after the announcement of the results of the first round, Jean-Luc Mélenchon thus mentioned “the hidden part of his program which could never be debated (…), the 80 billion that he intended to withdraw from the state budget to achieve the return of the 3 % deficit he had recklessly promised to the European Commission “. On Monday, in front of the press, he assumed to “respond to the place” of the executive on these 80 billion euros. “They will redo what Mr. Sarkozy had done … but be told” no, it’s not true, we are committed to the French to do so “”, he added.
The executive has always said that they want to bring the public deficit under 3 % of GDP in 2027. Emmanuel Macron said it several times during the campaign, and this objective was already in the 2021-2027 stability program. In the spring of 2021 to the European Commission. This document, which details the multi -year public finance trajectory established by Bercy, is normally transmitted each year in Brussels in the spring, but was not in 2022 due to the elections. Bercy plans to send it at the beginning of the summer, at the time of the presentation of the various texts on purchasing power. “Advancely, France has requested a delay,” notes France Insoumise France Manon Aubry.
“This assertion is not based on anything”
The calculation made by “rebellious” corresponds to a return to the public deficit of 6.5 % last year to 3 % of GDP in 2027 (a GDP point worth around 25 billion), or 80 billion of additional savings or revenues. “Two solutions: either they cut in public spending, hospital, school, already hard affected, or they increase the revenues, continues the deputy. This money, we can either recover it with the richest, but this n ‘Is it not what had been done during the last five-year period, or they recover it insidiously, for example by social VAT. Do they will do a social VAT? That they answer! “
