Bruno Le Maire defends the role of billionaires in France

"I don't like the France of the head-cutters. In an interview with the Sunday Journal, Bruno Le Maire responded to Marine Tondelier's controversial remarks. During a Nupes meeting in Paris on Tuesday, January 17, the national secretary of Europe Ecology-The Greens gave a speech against billionaires in France. “We claim that we no longer want billionaires in France. We want a France without billionaires,” she said. “What good is a billionaire? she asked, before rebelling against Bernard Arnault, who asked for Belgian nationality "in order not to pay inheritance tax".

"The entrepreneurs targeted by Europe Écologie-Les Verts have created tens of thousands of jobs on our territory, supported medium-sized towns, restored activity in these towns which need it", added the Minister. “They make the name of France and French culture shine all over the planet. Bruno Le Maire had already used this argument a few days earlier, in reaction to a letter co-signed by 200 millionaires. The latter asked to be taxed more. The minister had ironically replied: "Come to France, we will know how to tax you." »
