He equates these industrialists with "white collar delinquents" to whom Emmanuel Macron rolled out the red carpet.
The communist candidate for the Élysée Fabien Roussel accused Peugeot and Renault on Sunday of "treason against the nation" for having relocated part of their production to China.
"I ask that all relocation be stopped," Fabien Roussel told the RTL-Le Figaro-LCI Grand Jury, promising to "ban" them to put an end to what he presented as "a bloodletting of more than one million industrial jobs" suffered by France.
“I want to rebuild an industry in the country, and the best way to rebuild it is first to prevent any form of relocation,” he promised, before directly targeting the two major French car manufacturers.
“When I see Renault and Peugeot relocate the electric Dacia Spring and the electric C5 to China, it is a betrayal against the nation, a crime of lèse-majesté, a stab in the Republican contract”, assured the communist candidate. .
"With a majority on the left, I will tell Peugeot and Renault stop, it's over," he promised.
Taxes on the wealthiest households
Fabien Roussel also accused Emmanuel Macron of "fighting tax evasion with a corkscrew gun" and of receiving "white-collar criminals at his Elysée office".
“Presidents of pension funds who are the same who today buy companies in France, resell them two years later, make capital gains on them.
On these stock market gains, the money goes to Luxembourg", he assures us, citing as an example the American investment fund Apollo which bought in 2015 Verallia, packaging subsidiary of Saint-Gobain, for IPO it on the stock exchange.

On tax issues, Fabien Roussel also mentioned a report he plans to put online on Monday, on "the state of our richest families in France" in 2017, based on a report from the Finance Commission of the National Assembly of 2018.
According to him, the document shows that “358,000 tax households have assets of 1,028 billion euros”.
To tax these households, he intends to apply an “exceptional Covid tax of 10%” which would bring in 100 billion to the state coffers.
