Editorial: Liberation

• Michel Barnier, Prime Minister, proposes a budgetary effort of 60 billion that has caused a high impact.
• Barnier aims to attract the middle class by insisting they will not be affected by the fiscal effort, despite projected cuts.
• There will be a tax increase of 20 billion, largely for large corporations and wealthy taxpayers.
• The government seeks to distribute the remaining 40 billion in savings among the State, Social Security, and territorial entities.
• This strategy marks a break with the previous tax policies of Emmanuel Macron.

Conclusion: Barnier is seeking a major tax reform that breaks with previous policies, focused on raising taxes on the wealthier and easing the burden for the middle class.
