La France insoumise makes its political comeback this Saturday in the Drôme in the presence, of course, of Jean-Luc Mélenchon. The morning was notably marked by a debate between Adrien Quatennens, MP for the North, and Olivia Grégoire, Minister Delegate in charge of VSEs and SMEs, around purchasing power.
The political return is now. Like the PS or Renaissance, La France insoumise is holding its summer university this Saturday in Valence in the Drôme where the whole public was won over to the cause of Adrien Quatennens, LFI deputy from the North who faced Olivia Grégoire , Minister Delegate in charge of VSEs and SMEs.

The latter wanted to recall from the start its commitment to the most precarious. “I deeply believe that on the purchasing power debate, the rebellious, the government and other political forces aim for one thing only: to ensure that the French are doing better with their real incomes”.
No winner or loser
But the rebellious deputy immediately wanted to show his disagreements by detailing the measures he considers necessary for the purchasing power. “The only solution to move towards full employment is to admit that working time must be shared among all. Start the major ecological planning projects that will create jobs. And even establish mechanisms of the job guarantee type which allow us to ensure that everyone can live decently from their work”, he claimed.
Not enough to impress Olivier Grégoire who defended the government’s balance sheet: “We voted 45 billion euros on two bills that we are distributing to support the French. It takes the form of the 30 cents rebate per liter (of gasoline) from the month of September, we will implement them and I will tell you: we have been there and we will be there if things get complicated again”, she promised.
A debate without real winner or loser but which gave a glimpse of the beginnings of the economic debates of the start of the school year.
