The government is “institutionalizing bonuses as a means of remuneration”, denounces Fabien Roussel
Fabien Roussel, the national secretary of the French Communist Party, was the guest of “4 Truths” on France 2. He returned to yesterday’s debates in the National Assembly, stopped when the first of the twenty articles did not not yet voted. “We all want it to move forward (…) Nobody’s against bounties, it’s not to say no more bounties (…) The government has chosen to increase the ceiling on premiums, to make them split throughout the year, always without social security contributions on it.regretted the deputy of the North. The bonuses were given to 4 million French people out of 27 million employees, so this is not the right answerhe insisted. They are institutionalizing the bonus as a means of remuneration. »
“The government has not accepted any amendment from all the oppositions. You can imagine the anger that can grip us. Agree to find solutions, but yesterday, nothing”he lamented.
The elected communist was also questioned about the proposal on the reduction of VAT on gasoline that he shares with the National Rally, in particular. “We were several groups to file a bill on fuels (…), he let know. I proposed VAT at 5.5% on a liter of petrol, because the liter of petrol must be lowered immediately and this measure financed. To do so, we propose taxing the oil companies’ superprofits. Let’s have that debatehe pleaded. Many of us offer VAT at 5.5%, including the extreme right. We will see if a majority occurs. There will be proposals like this where we will vote in the right direction, I am thinking in particular of the deconjugalization of the disabled adult allowance (AAH). On the other hand, I will not vote for proposals where there are no sources of financing. »
“The Prime Minister made a speech [de politique générale] with the word “understood” all over the place and today there is nothing”, he regretted.
Regarding the controversy sparked by Mathilde Panot, the elected communist admitted to having been “shocked”. « It’s unfortunate and inappropriate (…) This anniversary is the time to have the most solemn tribute and to gain height on this drama (…) I wish to get out of the political debates on the occasion of commemoration of this type. »
