Speaking on LNRadio's morning show on Wednesday, Georges-Louis Bouchez recalled that the government has carried out a €32 billion budget consolidation, largely financed, nearly 80%, through savings and reforms rather than new revenue. Proof that this is a genuine right-wing government. The MR President firmly reiterated the MR's red line for the rest of the legislature: no new tax will be accepted, and any further budgetary slippage will have to be corrected through structural reforms and a reduction in state spending.
Georges-Louis Bouchez also highlighted a tax reform aimed at rewarding work, with tax-free overtime, easier flexi-jobs and a wider gap between work income and social benefits, as well as a plan to bring 100,000 people on long-term incapacity back into employment.
