To finance the rearmament of France, you have to go through “just taxation“, Recommendes Friday March 14 on Franceinfo the Ecologist David Cormand, while ex-Prime Minister Edouard Philippe judges”completely above ground“And”Already completely outdated“THE”conclave“Consultations between social partners on pensions set up by François Bayrou.
For the candidate in the presidential election of 2027, who answered the questions of the Figaro, it is necessary on the contrary to claim “social and political forces“And”considerable effort“Given”The threats that weigh“On France.
“”It is he who is above ground“, Answers David Cormand to him. He refutes the idea that the retirement age should be repelled to allow the defense effort to be financed.”This is the spirit of what a number of speakers say like Edouard Philippe, saying basically ‘it would be up to the poor to have to finance the defense of our democracies’. It’s immoral and it doesn’t work“, He denounces.
When you work more everyone, it is the poor who suffer the most.

To reach the effort of 100 billion euros in defense spending by 2030, you can get there “by just taxation“. Certainly savings”is a track, but it is a form of debt to the French and that will not be enough. You also have to pay the richest“, insists the MEP Les Ecologists, president of the Europe Ecology delegation to the European Parliament.
