Socialists criticize the government saving plan. In France, the breakthrough is getting closer
– We are ready to be next! He told Faure to the party's supporters, thus addressing President Emmanuel Macron, that in the event of the collapse of the government Bayrou, he would appoint the prime minister from the left.
He announced that the left would prove that “it is possible to debt the country without plunging the middle class” and less wealthy layers. – It's not like either Bayrou or the Apocalypse. From tomorrow it will be: his design or ours – said Faure. – Debt (public) – you, and you are irresponsible! – he added at the presidential camp.
He announced that his party would propose an alternative to Bayrou's savings plan, as well as a “different way of governing.” He said that The socialist party will cooperate with parties and organizations that do not want chaos but justice. As noted by the AFP agency, he seemed to exclude extremely left -wing France from this group (LFI). Socialists create a common block with the party in the parliament, although tensions between them return.
The Socialist Party is to present its budget savings plan on Saturday, but the daily “L'Apinion” revealed its main assumptions. At the same time, activists of the Socialist Party told the journal that making the public “counterbuding” to exposure to pressure from the right.
The left questions the sum of almost EUR 44 billion of savings contained in the Bayrou budget project on 2026. It believes that its plan will inhibit economic growth and lead to recession and an increase in unemployment. Socialists want to introduce savings – necessary to reduce the budget deficit – at a slower pace. They postulate EUR 23 billion in savings in next year's budget.
This is to happen mainly by increasing income, not cutting expenses. The postulates of the Socialist Party are not, according to “L'pinion” new: these are, among others Introduction of the so -called Zuman tax on the largest fortunes, exceeding EUR 100 million. It is not clear whether this tax would be 1 percent. or 2 percent It is also a restoration of solidarity tax on assets (ISF), abolished in 2017. At the same time, the left wants to implement a plan to stimulate economic growth.
The French government is fighting for survival
The left emphasizes that the discrepancies with the center -right government of Bayrou do not relate to the diagnosis of the situation, but the methods of repairing it. – We will never agree to force those who have already paid the government's budget negligence under the banner of responsibility for the budgetary care of the government – said Senator of the Socialist Party Patrick Kanner.
The draft budget presented by Bayrou united against themselves the opposition on the left and right, which considers him unfair, burdensome, burdensome on a less affluent part of society. On September 8, Bayrou will ask the parliament about the vote of trust and is very unlikely to get it. If he loses voting, the government will have to step down and the president may appoint another policy as a prime minister. However, the situation is complicated by the fact that none of the main political forces has a majority in parliament and each subsequent office will also be a minority government.
