Valérie Pécresse was thus surprised by the measure announced by Jean Castex this weekend, who had declared that from April 1, the French would be paid 15 euro cents per liter of gasoline.
The candidate believes that because of the rise in fuel prices, the state actually collects 25 cents in additional taxes in recent weeks.
Valérie Pécresse thus believes that it is necessary to “
return
” this money.
The president of the Ile-de-France region also called for a "
deep overhaul of our energy policy
" which would no longer take the objective of an energy mix of 50% renewable energies and 50% nuclear as a “
dogma
”.
