Before his debate with Bruno Le Maire, what does Eric Zemmour propose on the economy? – LCI

To fight Eric Zemmour, the government is in favor of the debate. So, this Thursday, December 9, Bruno Le Maire agreed to confront the polemicist, guest of the show Elysee 2022 on France 2. The day after Emmanuel Macron’s visit to Vichy and while the former journalist considered that the Vichy regime had helped save Jews, this will be the occasion for the Minister of the Economy to reaffirm that there are red lines not to be crossed. And to bring it on the ground of the economy, on which Eric Zemmour is little used to venturing. Besides, what does he propose on this subject?

Sunday, during his meeting in Villepinte, it is however through his economic measures that Eric Zemmour began to unfold his program. He first demanded a higher net salary for employees, by reducing their contributions, to allow those earning a minimum wage to receive the equivalent of a 13th month. “It is each month, 100 euros more that they will receive. It is only justice: it is the fruit of their work. I do not conceive that our employees, especially the poorest, finance with their expenses a social model that has become obese, because it is open to the whole world “, he said, unable to help hinting at immigration-related social fraud.

On its website, the polemicist also considers that individuals pay too much tax, and he believes that this “generalized fiscal asphyxiation” is the fault of social spending, not all of which are distributed only to holders of French nationality, and wishes to remedy this by “establishing in particular a national preference for the allocation of social assistance”.

In Villepinte, Eric Zemmour also proposed to lower “massive production taxes for all companies, because it is not normal to tax a company before it has even been able to make a profit. I want more small companies to benefit from a reduced rate of corporate tax: why do large companies, with their armies of tax specialists, manage to pay less corporate tax than our VSEs and SMEs? “, he declared in front of his supporters.

To reindustrialize the country and help industrialists, Eric Zemmour advocates the French preference. In addition to lowering production taxes, he wants to force public procurement to favor French companies. “To implement this policy, I will create a powerful Ministry of Industry responsible for foreign trade, energy, research and development and raw materials”, he told Villepinte. On its website, he completes this reindustrialisation policy by considering that “to relax the competitive dogmas of Brussels, which oppose the constitution of national champions in Europe while leaving our market open to extra-European giants”.

Finally, last Sunday, he emphasized his desire to promote the transmission of businesses from generation to generation by removing inheritance and gift taxes for the transmission of family businesses.
