Did he dump the tax hike, or just delay it 6 months?
France’s Government has abandoned a fuel-tax hike that it previously said it had only suspended for six months, in the face of protests across the country over living costs.
Farmers and trade unions pledged to join the nationwide demonstrations against President Emmanuel Macron, with the Government’s concessions failing to stem the momentum of the most violent demonstrations France has seen in decades.
The Government has suggested it may amend a wealth tax that critics say goes too easy on the rich. Government spokesman Benjamin Griveaux said all tax-related policies needed to be periodically evaluated and, if deemed not to be working, should be changed.
He said the wealth tax could be reassessed in 2019.
That’s what I was wondering. Is this that 6-month delay? Or is this something new?
They'll put it back when they're ready, when they've got their legislative ducks in a row.
Did he say “lis sur mes lèvres”?
They need to dump Macron and his childhood teacher.
