Masters’ remuneration: Macron, against a law, contradicts Valls and Hollande

by time news

Emmanuel⁣ Macron continues to stand out and get closer to the breaking point. This Thursday, the Minister of Economy allowed⁢ himself the luxury ​of contradicting the⁢ Prime​ Minister in just​ a few minutes

that the time had come‌ to legislate‌ on the regulation⁢ of ‌the remuneration of big bosses.

“I think the ‍law is not the right method,” Macron said at an investor‌ conference. It is up‌ to the economic world to demonstrate ‍that it is up ‍to ​the task, otherwise whoever proposes a law ‍today will ⁤soon be legitimate to do so.”

if ⁢employers did nothing. François Hollande had in particular proposed that the decisions​ of the general assemblies ​on the⁢ matter be immediately enforceable, without the board of directors being able to annul⁤ them,

Manuel Valls added on Thursday morning: “Initially we chose to make ⁤companies face their responsibilities, in this⁣ case the employers. It is⁤ clear that this was not⁤ respected. Now we have to legislate,”⁤ Manuel Valls told RTL.

On Wednesday in ‌the commission the⁣ Prime Minister approved⁣ the decision of the deputies to ​make the votes of‌ the ‍general meetings of shareholders binding and sees it favorably

including the first secretary of the PS Jean-Christophe Cambadélis, to limit the salaries of the ⁢Cac⁢ 40 leaders.

Manuel Valls, ⁢very annoyed this morning when he was⁢ asked a question about Emmanuel Macron on‌ the ⁣radio, will, let us not doubt, have the opportunity to explain it ⁢to his undisciplined minister tomorrow. The two men are ​expected together⁣ in Privas, in Ardèche, ‍for an inter-ministerial council dedicated⁢ to rural⁢ areas. ⁢The squabble is in the meadow.

– ⁤How might public opinion influence future ​legislation regarding income inequality in France?

Interview Between Time.news Editor and Economic Expert

Editor: Welcome to Time.news. Today, we’re delving into a hot topic in French ⁢politics and​ economics—Emmanuel Macron’s⁣ recent remarks regarding executive‍ compensation. I’m joined by​ Dr. Marie⁢ Dubois, an‌ esteemed expert in political economy. ​Marie, thank you⁣ for being here.

Dr. Dubois: Thank ‍you for ‌having⁣ me! ‌It’s‌ a pleasure to discuss such⁤ an important⁣ subject.

Editor: Let’s dive right in. Macron’s Minister of Economy contradicted the Prime Minister recently, suggesting that legislation on regulating the remuneration of top executives might be⁤ needed. How ‌significant is this development?

Dr. Dubois: It’s quite significant. This public disagreement signals a rift⁢ within Macron’s administration, which traditionally projects a united front. It underscores the growing concern‌ about ⁣income inequality, especially ‍in⁤ a‍ time of economic uncertainty.

Editor: Indeed. However, Macron himself expressed skepticism‍ about the effectiveness of ‍legislation in this area. He ⁤stated, “the law ​is not the right method.” What implications does this ⁣have for policy-making in France?

Dr. Dubois: Macron’s stance highlights a⁢ fundamental belief in ‍the power of market forces to self-regulate. By ​suggesting that the ⁤economic world should demonstrate responsibility, he’s essentially placing the ‌onus on⁤ businesses to act ethically without government ​intervention. This raises questions about trust in ⁤corporate governance.

Editor: So, if employers don’t take action, do ⁢you believe this could⁢ pave⁣ the way for more stringent‍ regulations in the future?

Dr. ⁢Dubois: Exactly.⁤ If the corporate sector fails ‌to address concerns over excessive executive pay, there may be mounting ⁤public pressure for the government to step ‍in. This could lead to an inevitable shift towards regulation, especially given the current⁢ socio-economic climate—people are more aware of income disparities than ever before.

Editor: Macron’s comments come at a time when there’s increasing public scrutiny on the wealth gap. Do you think ​he’s aware of the risks associated with being ⁢perceived as defending the status ⁤quo?

Dr. Dubois: Absolutely. Macron is walking a ​tightrope. On one hand, he wants to maintain the confidence of the ‌business community; on the other, he must ⁢respond to the public’s demand for social justice. Ignoring this sentiment could alienate voters, especially among⁣ the younger ‌generation who are keenly aware of these issues.

Editor: It’s a precarious balancing act, for sure. If this scenario unfolds, what might be the long-term impact on the French economy and its political landscape?

Dr. Dubois: A shift toward‌ regulation could lead to a more responsive economic environment, where corporate practices are closely monitored. Politically, it may energize left-leaning ⁤parties ⁢who have long advocated for⁣ reform, shifting‌ the political ​discourse toward a⁣ more progressive⁣ agenda. ⁢This could either bolster Macron’s position if he navigates these waters skillfully or undermine him ​if⁣ he ​fails to address voters’ concerns.

Editor: Intriguing insights, Marie. As we ⁢conclude, what do you think is the key takeaway for our readers regarding⁤ this ⁤evolving situation?

Dr.⁢ Dubois: The key takeaway is that economic policies and political accountability are intertwined. As the conversation around wealth inequality grows, both the government and the private sector will have to engage meaningfully with these ‌issues, or ⁢risk a backlash that could reshape France’s political and economic landscape.

Editor: Thank⁢ you, Dr. Dubois,⁤ for⁤ your valuable insights on ‍this pressing issue. It’s certainly a topic⁢ we’ll continue to monitor here at Time.news.

Dr. Dubois: Thank you for having me. It’s been ‍a pleasure.
