Officially, there is no question of questioning the “supply policy”, the common thread of the first term of Emmanuel Macron. But, after a heckled parliamentary summer, who saw the deputies of the presidential majority struggling with oppositions particularly brought up on the bill purchasing power and the amending budget, the latter have realized that the times have changed.
While French groups paid their shareholders a record amount of 44.3 billion euros in the second quarter, according to a study by asset manager Janus Henderson published on Wednesday August 24, and while opening on Monday The MEDEF summer university, this goes concretely through a voluntarism displayed on the way of making companies contribute to subjects of tax justice.
