Lucie Castets is clear. If elected to Matignon, the New Popular Front (NFP) will “seek agreements with other parties, with the exception of the National Rally”, he indicated in an interview with La Tribune Sunday. ” With them (the RN), No. However, I will not be responsible for their vote. If they want to cancel pension reform or improve public services, I cannot stop them,” he added. However, he assured that “the NFP will not vote on the matter coming from the RN”.
Lucie Castets also said that she wants to “restore the right to parliamentary work”. “Proposed laws from other parties and goodwill will be welcomed if they are consistent with what the NFP is about. At this point, I will make compromises and I will discuss reforms,” he told the Tribune on Sunday.
Also asked about the appointment of a new Prime Minister during the Olympic Games (OG), the NFP candidate believes that “it is desirable that we elect a government as soon as possible”. “Until then, we are at work, we are preparing the implementation of our plan,” he said. “The President of the Republic must put an end to the unprecedented paralysis we are experiencing. He must take into account the results of the parliamentary elections, and put the political party that emerged into the government. »
Towards a “major tax reform”?
On the economic side, Lucie Castets does not have “the main reason to respect the European stability agreement” which limits the public deficit to 3% and wants to launch “a major tax reform” if that he is the Prime Minister. “This is not negotiable. France will propose a new dialogue,” he specified.
France has been placed in the process of a large public deficit by the European Commission, after having posted a deficit of 5.5% of GDP in 2023, the first since the suspension of the budget rules in 2020 with the Covid crisis.
Lucie Castets announced her intention to “seek tax and social income to the extent of 150 billion euros by 2027, in order to finance our system and reduce the deficit”.
Advance income tax and ISF return
For this, he announced, in the event of access to Matignon, “an important tax reform”, related to the “advancement of the income tax” which “will increase to 14 brackets”, as a provided for the NFP program. That is, the “tax cut” for “a large part of the houses”, confirms this inarque that appeared less than a week ago to the public.
He also wants “tax immigrants to pay their taxes to the French tax authorities, as Americans do to the American tax authorities”.
He also confirmed the expansion of the “asset tax” and the return of the wealth tax (ISF). Regarding the companies, it recommended stopping the “most expensive measures, for example reductions in subsidies, which are large”.
Designated this Tuesday by the four left parties, PS, PCF, LFI and Scientists, Lucie Castets, whose candidacy has been taken part by Emmanuel Macron, made his first trip to Lille on Saturday to visit merchants and activists.
