The deputy and president of Renaissance in the National Assembly returned, Monday, July 11 on CNews, to inflation, the government’s measures to counter this, but also the motion of censure which will be brought this afternoon against Elisabeth Borne.
Aurore Bergé began the interview by explaining that the “twenty billion” spent by the government, “is what is added to the considerable effort of the State to protect the French from inflation. We have more contained inflation than in other European countries and measures must be temporary on energy prices. She added: “There may be other measures such as tax-free overtime so that work pays better in our country. We want to go beyond this ceiling. The objective is to help those who work and encourage better remuneration. We have a simple principle: no debt, no additional taxes.
The deputy also declared that it was necessary to “protect against inflation and better remunerate work”, continuing: “It is not a law that will ensure that we are going to pay better in companies. private […] We need salary negotiations […] The charges have been lowered in previous mandates, and we must be effective in measures and targeting, and not lie to them about its consequences. We are there to correct a temporary situation with regard to inflation. The measures we take should not be anything.”
“The Nupes is a vociferous minority”
She wanted to respond to the opposition, which criticizes the policy of checks: “The measures that we take must be transitional. We must not permanently get used to additional public spending. We are going to abolish the fee, lower taxes: no taxes, no additional taxes. For Aurore Bergé, “the efforts must be shared according to their income, that’s social justice. She also recalled that the French “do not [sont] not equal in the face of inflation” and defended the results of the previous five-year term: “The middle classes have, in the previous five-year term, seen income tax fall, the reality is this.”
As for the motion of censure and the Nupes, the deputy did not hold back her blows: “Jean-Luc Mélenchon’s objective is to waste the National Assembly’s time because, instead of talking about the power of purchase, we are going to talk about a motion discussed by Mélenchon who did not want to run again. This motion of censure will show that he did not win the presidential or legislative elections and that the Nupes is a vociferous minority. She took up the expression of the RN: “The National Assembly is a place of democratic debate, neither a ZAD, nor a college campus.”
What about the Macron-Uber scandal? “It is crazy that a country is offended that a Minister of the Economy receives business leaders in a completely public way. Fortunately, our ministers can continue to receive companies, services that the French acclaim […] There is no deal, no quid pro quos.”
