Even within the majority, where a presidential directive prohibits in principle any increase in taxes or duties, we phosphorus to circumvent the instruction. The government, through the Minister of Finance, has announced its martial and definitive sentence: no more checkbooks, no more savings.
This time, we swear, there is no longer any question of pretending: we must find something worth 22 billion euros over two years. The order was therefore given to all ministries to scrutinize each euro of expenditure, then to present a serious list of savings to Bercy. Good luck, Mr. Mayor!
