Fifteen deputies from the Ecology, Democracy, Solidarity group, including their co-chair Matthew Orphan (ex-LREM), ask in a column published in the JDD that the stimulus plan, which will be unveiled by the government on Thursday, be “Sustainable and united”.
While the government has already outlined the broad outlines of its future recovery plan of 100 billion euros, the “Nevertheless still appears too impregnated with a conservative liberalism satisfied with finding the public money which arises opportunely to save the economy, but without suffering any social, fiscal or ecological conditionality”, deplore these deputies, all ex- “Walkers”, including Émilie Cariou, Aurélien Taché, or even Cédric Villani.
“If the health crisis affects all of our regions, it is in working-class neighborhoods that its effects are most disastrous. However, the recovery plan does not provide for anything to fight against discrimination and territorial inequalities ”, they deplore, while “Massive investments in social housing, access to employment and education in priority neighborhoods are necessary”.
« Doner a political trajectory to this public money ”
They ask that the aid paid to companies be “Accompanied by precise recruitment objectives in these neighborhoods, where weakened self-employed workers must be supported”.
“We cannot eliminate production taxes without touching the tax optimization mechanisms which atomize the taxation of profits”, continue these parliamentarians.
And “We cannot allocate investment aid which will be immediately diverted to feed the financialized payment of dividends to shareholders. We cannot leave the finance and insurance sectors, spared by the crisis, aside from the national effort ”, they complete.
According to these deputies who want to “Independent”, “There is an urgent need to revive the economy, but also to give a political trajectory to this public money”.
