“We must force the President of the Republic to go towards this taxation of superprofits and I hope that there is a shared initiative referendum”, said Friday the leader of the Socialist Party, adding that he would offer its partners to join the initiative.
“Her proposal goes in the direction of what ourselves, we are trying to do with our petition. She is welcome,” replied Jean-Luc Mélenchon from the platform, in reference to the petition claiming taxation Superprofits posted before the weekend.
“If the parliamentary group [of rebellious France] – because it is he who must decide – accepts the idea that we lay a referendum motion, well all” rebellious “and” rebellious ” From France everywhere will get to work to bring together the 4.7 million signatures we need, “promised the former presidential candidate, thanking Olivier Faure for this proposal” which guarantees that the Nuts lives, that the NUPPES will live “.
a complex procedure which has never succeeded
“It is time to tax crisis profiteers, to increase the contribution of very large companies. When the United States increases their taxes on businesses by six points, let’s not say that it has become a Chavist State! “, Disposed Jean-Luc Mélenchon.
Since 2008, article 11 of the constitution authorizes the organization of a shared initiative referendum, at the initiative of at least a fifth of parliamentarians and which must be supported by at least one tenth of the body electoral, or nearly 4.7 million people.
The complex procedure had already been initiated in 2020 at the initiative of the left to oppose the privatization of the airports in Paris. She had not succeeded, for lack of sufficient signatures. However, the project had been postponed by the government on an indefinite date.
Elisabeth Borne does not close the door
During discussions on purchasing power in Parliament this summer, the presidential majority as well as the Republicans had rejected the amendments proposed by the cloud in matters of corporate taxation. The idea of a specific taxation of profits collected by certain groups thanks to the crisis is not completely excluded.
At the beginning of August, Modem deputies had already pleaded for a “reflection” in the fall on the taxation of “superprofits” of companies as total, referring in particular to a “flash mission” launched by the commission of Finances. On Saturday, the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, said, in an interview to the Parisian, that she did not close the door to the principle of such a tax, while deeming more effective a voluntary drop in prices by companies in order to Protect the purchasing power of consumers.
