here are the 3 proposals from Gabriel Attal as a deputy to avoid increases

The budget for the year 2025 has been at the heart of numerous discussions in recent weeks, particularly since Michel Barnier was appointed Prime Minister. While he announced that he was looking for nearly 60 billion in savings, warning that a third of these savings would be made through additional levies such as temporary and exceptional taxes, the presidential camp for their part asserts and reaffirms that it does not want tax increases. It is with this in mind that the former Prime Minister, Gabriel Attal, spoke on this subject on TF1 this Sunday October 6, 2024.

The question of taxes is always at the heart of political debates in France, especially in a context of persistent inflation and a state budget under pressure. To prevent this situation from resulting in a general increase in taxes, Gabriel Attal has developed a series of measures, part of which he presented on TF1 this Sunday, October 6, 2024 in the TV news. Three concrete proposals that he considers interesting to fight against a general increase in taxes. Here they are.

Gabriel Attal wants to reduce public spending

Gabriel Attal proposes a targeted reduction in public spending. For him, it is not a question of blindly applying budget cuts, but of carrying out a detailed analysis of the sectors where savings can be made without affecting essential services to the population. He estimates that in eight months in office as Prime Minister, he managed to achieve 40 billion euros in savings which are today “at the disposal of the government”. Substantial efforts that he considers to have “ never seen before” and that he wishes to continue with numerous proposals which will be submitted to the new Prime Minister, Michel Barnier.

According to Attal, several areas could be affected by these spending reductions, the objective is to optimize available resources to avoid increasing taxes. For this, the first proposal he presented to Anne-Claire Coudray states “ tax justice and work at the heart of everything » particularly with the much-discussed reform of unemployment insurance. “She’s ready, there’s a decree, you just have to sign it“, he says about it. But what does this reform provide? A reduction in the number of months of compensation which opens rights to unemployment insurance, going from a minimum of 6 months within 24 months for people aged under 53 to 8 months over the last 20 months.

These other proposals from Gabriel Attal

The former head of government also proposed to “ fight against administrative complexity» by simplifying“duplication between the State and local authorities“. A proposal which, according to him, could enable savings of up to 7 billion euros on 2025 budgets by avoiding “overloading the boat in terms of taxes“. But that’s not all, Gabriel Attal returned to a proposal from his colleague, Gérald Darmanin.

Indeed, when the journalist asks him what he thinks of the proposal aimed at moving to “36 or 37 hours” in the public sector, he replies:“I believe that, in the private sector, we are no longer in most cases at 35 hours”he laments before continuing that he would like to enforce the 35-hour week for everyone in the public service.“This would make it possible to avoid some of the efforts that are required, for example, of our retirees (freezing of pensions) or the excessive increase in electricity bills”he concludes.
