François Bayrou calls on the government to discuss a targeted tax increase. “A discussion can be opened.
The Minister of Economy and Finance is preparing next year's budget (…) It is good that the government and parliamentarians sit around the table and explore freely,” he declared on RTL. He was questioned about the probable announcement on Tuesday by INSEE of a public deficit in 2023 significantly higher than the 4.9% (of GDP) initially forecast. François Bayrou suggested that he was opposed to a new reform of unemployment insurance, aimed at reducing the duration of compensation, as envisaged by the government.
