At the microphone of Dimitri Pavlenko, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, candidate Debout la France, judged that the French government “rebates” on the measures taken to stem the rise in fuel prices.
Guest of the morning of Europe this Friday, April 1, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, candidate Debout la France and deputy for Essonne, cast a critical eye on the fuel discount of 18 cents per liter put in place by the government from of this Friday: “the government is rebating. Part of the 18 cents comes from what it has earned with the price increase. The price increase means that the government has already earned 7 to 8 cents on the backs of the French. So there are 10 cents left. You should know that since his election Emmanuel Macron has increased diesel by 19 cents, so in the end, he doesn’t give anything back” he analyzes at the microphone of Europe 1.
A fuel price cap of 1.70 euros
According to Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, the only valid measure concerning the rise in the price of fuel is the “cap of the price at 1.70 euros. Because we are talking about our compatriots who can no longer work and our small businesses which are in dying,” he said.
The candidate Debout la France also presents: “A taxation of the superprofits of the oil companies, who have earned a lot of money and who can make a little effort. We have to stop. We are going to have a social explosion. The French can no longer work. When you put 400 euros of gasoline in your tank and you earn the minimum wage, how do you do it?
It also proposes “a tax on large fortunes which amounts to above 10 million euros, exceptional solidarity for two years and a contribution from large companies which made excess profits during the Covid, in particular the GAFAM. It means nothing to them, a crumb, but this crumb can allow our compatriots to pass the course “he concludes.
