Emmanuel Macron ready to decide between Elisabeth Borne and Bruno Le Maire? “There will inevitably be a death”

Between the Prime Minister and the Minister of the Economy, the rag is burning. While the cost of raw materials is soaring and inflation is hitting the French hard, some companies are taking advantage of the general tension. On Monday August 29, the French Business Movement (Medef) announced 27 billion euros in tax revenue in the first quarter of 2022, thanks to the “corporate superprofits”. Indeed, the scarcity of certain resources benefits companies.

Should the government tax these companies that have made super profits? This is on this issue opposed by the Minister of the Economy and the Prime Minister. Elisabeth Borne made a point of publicly recalling her position on this issue, explaining “do not close the door to the taxation of superprofits”. Conversely, Bruno Le Maire does not want to hear about it: “Do you really believe that by imposing new taxes, we will reindustrialize the country?”

Emmanuel Macron forced to decide between Elisabeth Borne and Bruno Le Maire?

A dispute that would have put the author of erotic books in a black rage, reports The Parisian this Friday, September 2. “Bruno was super lifted, he even called Macron to complain!” confides an anonymous source close to the minister on a daily basis. A duel both media and internal. While the entourage of the tenant of Bercy assures the newspaper that Bruno Le Maire speaks daily to Elisabeth Borne, the icy understanding seems to reign between the members of the government.

Emmanuel Macron will he have to intervene to end the duel? While the Head of State has instructed the executive to play “collectively”, he may have to decide between the members of his government. “In the end, there will inevitably be a death, because we don’t do a text on superprofits halfway, it doesn’t exist”, predicts a heavyweight of the government to the newspaper. It remains to be seen which will succumb first.
