Former French President Francois Hollande is in favor of taxing the great wealth in France, while at the same time proposing to suspend the reform of the country’s pension system by 2027.
In an interview with the Le Figaro newspaper, the latest socialist president that France has met stresses that the newly appointed President of President Emmanuel Macron Prime Minister Sebastian Lekorni bears the “heavy responsibility” to achieve a compromise for his 20th state budget.
It calls for taxation of large property and the greater contribution of businesses to the country’s fiscal consolidation efforts, as well as low -income protection measures, while rejecting the doubling of the insured’s contribution to medical costs. At the same time he welcomes the abandonment of the proposal for the abolition of two public holidays in the country, but believes that this is not sufficient and proposes the suspension of implementation of the retirement system by 2027.
Francois Hollande also criticizes President Macron, accusing him of loss of revenue, inability to control government spending and a lack of respect for institutions and parties. Finally, he states that he considers the dissolution of the House deadlocked, and rejects the idea of resigning President Macron.
