Bruno Le Maire procrastinates. This Monday on Sud Radio, the Minister of Economy and Finance reacted to the threats from the head of Totalenergies to stop the cap of 1.99 euros per liter for fuels sold on its network.
“I had the opportunity to speak with him. I trust Total to maintain this operation that for me is exemplary. We fight against inflation when we all together make the right decisions to lower prices: State, companies, distributors,” emphasizes the Bercy tenant . .
“An exemplary operation”
“We are efficient there and that is why I trust Total to maintain this operation,” emphasizes Bruno Le Maire.
In fact, the general director of the oil group, Patrick Pouyanné, threatened to question its system if the “temporary solidarity contribution” of the refineries is maintained in the next budget.
“As a general rule, I don’t like taxes very much,” explains the minister, but “I also respect what parliamentarians tell us.” For Bruno le Maire, a balance must be found between the margins of the refineries “and the hundreds of jobs they generate.”
