"Frankly what country are we in? I've had it up to here."

The mayor of Paris plans in her program to offer each young person, when he reaches his majority, a sum of 5,000 euros, without means test, if he is elected to the Élysée. While, on LCI, the journalist asked her if her measure was not demagogic, she replied:
"You can't say that, can't you!" “Young people today are in a very precarious situation,
” she continued.
You can see the state of the country well, even if we are here on a TV set, a bit like a jar, far from reality.
For her,
"it's not demagoguery, it's confidence in our youth, it's allowing young people with 5,000 euros at the age of 18,to be able to decide for themselves what they want to spend that money on.”
"I am very shocked when I am asked this kind of question,
she added,
and that it is not asked when Emmanuel Macron removed a large part of the tax on large fortunes."
“It was not expensive to remove four billion euros in revenue from the state budget when it was for the tax on large fortunes.
And there, for once it becomes indecent or demagogue to say that we give each young person 5,000 euros at 18 years old.
Honestly what country are we in?
I'm fed up
,” she said indignantly.

Returning more broadly to her program where she wants to invest massively for education and health, she explained that
"yes it's true education is expensive, health is expensive, but try not to offer education to our children, try a system in which health becomes something that is unaffordable for many of our fellow citizens.
Do you really think it's not going to cost us much more?
