President Emmanuel Macron said Monday that he “needs” French employers and sent a “message of unity” to win the battle for jobs and growth.
“I need you”, he continued in this speech broadcast at the opening of the Medef back-to-school meeting.
“In the moment we live in”, marked by multiple geopolitical uncertainties, “I am absolutely convinced that unity must prevail”, declared the French president.
“I need you,” he insisted repeatedly in his video message. An appeal already launched in the same terms to the mayors of France in 2019, or to the members of the presidential party at the dawn of their re-election campaign in 2022.
“I expect the same from you”
“What I believe in this back to school is a message of unity. All united to win the battle for full employment, all united in a slightly more difficult situation where we have to hang in there and keep getting good French results, all united to project our country towards the challenges of tomorrow”. “You know that you have a president and a government that, when it commits, does so. I expect the same from you,” concluded the Head of State.
This intervention by Emmanuel Macron at the great Medef back-to-school meeting, the French Entrepreneurs Meeting (REF), is part of a context of businessmen’s concern about the government’s fiscal policy towards companies. At the center of the concerns of businessmen: the recent announcement of the phased suppression until 2027 of the Company Value Added Contribution (CVAE), a tax on production that would disappear completely in 2024.
“The fiscal and social trajectory that you are going to agree with the government, which will translate into finance bills and the financing of social security and everything that follows, must, for me, arise from this battle”, estimated Emmanuel Macron .
