"Employers have a problem of visibility" to be able to increase salaries, believes Grégoire
Invited on LCI, the government spokeswoman, Olivia Grégoire, returned to the policy pursued by the executive against inflation.
“It is important that we give more purchasing power to the French.
But we know in this context that employers have a visibility problem.
We can hear that some of them do not want to jeopardize their business by increasing wages,” adding that it is therefore necessary to “grab” the aid put on the table by the government.
“Our goal is for the effect of our measures to be seen in the pockets of the French in August.
We are doing everything to ensure that the summer is not spoiled by inflation issues or by the Covid, ”she continues.

"We break the legs of the French and we offer them a crutch", judge Jordan Bardella
On CNews, the president of the RN, Jordan Bardella returned to the policy pursued by the executive to fight against inflation.

We break the legs of the French and we offer them a crutch”, he judges, believing that “we must lower taxes and raise salaries”.
