As they beat the pavement on Thursday October 2, Matignon already seems to offer answers to the anger of the demonstrators. Sources close to the Prime Minister, several tracks would already be mentioned. First of all in terms of purchasing power, still lowering taxation and social security contributions on overtime. “It’s a good thing, yes and no, because in fact, what should above all be increased wages”estimates a demonstrator. “The goal is not to have overtime, it is to increase the hourly salary rate”Indicates another.

Second possibility studied by the executive: a drop in income tax for the most modest. “Precarious people are already paying very little taxes, so I think that will not change the situation”Share a demonstrator.

There is also talk of the Macron premium. This tax exemption and non -taxable bonus, paid by the employer if he wishes, is one more instrument to increase purchasing power. “It’s a good thing, it’s recovery for the employee somewhere. Afterwards, it’s random from one company to another”launches a protester.

The government is also thinking of further promoting transmissions between generations for the benefit of grandchildren and younger.
