It was the deputies of the government camp and the National Group who voted against the article after the tax was reinforced by an amendment approved by La Francia Insumisa. “This government, which only has the support of a handful of deputies, only gets its votes thanks to the votes of the RN,” the first secretary of the Socialist Party, Olivier Faure, reacted in X.
The surcharge provided for in the Government’s text, planned for two years, should provide 8,000 million euros in 2025 and 4,000 million in 2026, but an amendment from the left was approved to increase the rates of the rate in one of the two years, contrary to the opinion of the Government. which puts the measure at “an additional 13 billion.”
