While the rebellious Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the ecologist Yannick Jadot, the socialist Anne Hidalgo and the communist Fabien Roussel all declined the proposal for union of the former Keeper of the Seals, the latter regretted “this reaction, this height, this distance. Contempt is perhaps too strong a word, but this way of haughtily keeping a democratic process at a distance”.
I am one more candidate for those who consider that a democratic process is worth nothing at all
“It looks like this form of government, this presidential form that we have had in front of us for five years”, she added, in reference to Emmanuel Macron. The popular Primary “is a citizen will to unite”, she again defended. “Democracy is not a feeling it is facts, nearly half a million people [392 000, NDLR] decided to intervene in the campaign. »
Asked if she was a candidate more on the left, Christiane Taubira was annoyed “No sir. I am one more candidate for those who consider that a democratic process is worth nothing at all, that half a million people who register and vote is worth nothing at all”.
But “the question is not whether I get along well with the other candidates, whether we are happy to drink hot chocolate together. The question is to respond to the problem of the purchasing power of millions of French people, to ensure that they have public services throughout the territory, to support teaching professions and care professions , etc … “, she hammered.
First lines of the program
The former figure of the Radical Left Party has thus declined the first measures of his program, particularly in terms of taxation. “The question is that of tax justice,” she says. In this respect, she proposes to “take 1% from ten million euros of assets”, which according to her would bring in 20 billion euros. Christiane Taubira also wants to restore a “modified ISF” because “France is a tax haven for large fortunes”. More surprisingly for the left, she promises to touch inheritance rights: “the objective is that all people who have worked all their lives can bequeath their heritage without paying an inheritance”.
Christiane Taubira also reiterated proposals for young people, formulated on Saturday in a video posted on social networks: pay a capital of 20,000 euros to young people who start an activity and create an income of 800 euros for each student in order to ensure that no longer have to work to finance their studies. “The objective is to allow young people to enter the social majority,” she repeats. On the question of nuclear power, the former minister reiterated that she was opposed to it because of the waste generated but would like a referendum to consult the French.
