LIVE – Uber case: Alexis Corbière wants to “think about a commission of inquiry”

Former minister Cécile Duflot, now director general of Oxfam France, reacted on Monday on Twitter to the revelations made by several media on Sunday concerning the relations between Emmanuel Macron and the company Uber.

“It’s the politicians who give the problem to the lobbyists,” she said, squealing in passing some economists who would have produced reports favorable to the firm in exchange for compensation.

“Yes a decree can change everything,” she said.

Guest of BFMTV this Monday, the Renaissance MEP (formerly LaREM) Ilana Cicurel returned to the revelations made this Sunday in particular by the newspaper The worldconcerning the relations maintained between Emmanuel Macron then Minister of the Economy and the VTC company Uber.

“A Minister of the Economy who meets companies is good,” she judged, not seeing any difficulty in a minister in office having privileged relations with certain economic players.

For her, the idea “of the big bad liberal wolf Emmanuel Macron is completely unfounded”.

Ilana Cicurel finally made it clear that it was under the first five-year term of the same Emmanuel Macron that a law to regulate platforms had been adopted, and that the presidential camp was now working on regulation at European level.

The new Minister of National Education Pap Ndiaye announced on Monday on Twitter the addition of a 4% revaluation of school grants in the future bill on purchasing power, which should soon enter the ‘National Assembly.

“Faced with inflation and to protect the most modest families, a 4% revaluation measure for school grants from the start of the 2022 school year has been included in the purchasing power bill”, he said. .

Invited to Cnews, the patroness of the Renaissance deputies (formerly LaREM), attacked Jean-Luc Mélenchon, who in her eyes wants to “waste the National Assembly’s time”.

In his eyes, the rebellious leader “is trying to permanently twist our institutions”, in particular through the motion of censure tabled by the Nupes and which will be debated and voted on Monday.

Uber is accused of brutal or even illegal methods at its beginnings in France by a consortium of journalists whose The world. Emmanuel Macron is specifically implicated in this case.

“Each time, he chooses multinationals instead of thinking about protecting the French,” says Fabien Roussel, the boss of the Communist Party on BFMTV.

Faced with the rise in prices at the pump, Fabien Roussel wishes this morning on BFMTV that transport tickets are paid for at 50% by the State for employees and students. Employers currently have a local obligation to cover 50% of their employees’ public transport subscription.

Fabien Roussel makes his difference heard again with Jean-Luc Mélenchon.

Evoking the words of Jean-Luc Mélenchon on “the police who kill” after the death of a passenger in a vehicle targeted by police fire during a refusal to comply, Fabien Roussel denounces words “which can offend, which are unacceptable” this morning on BFMTV.

The motion of censure tabled by the Nupes will be debated this afternoon in the National Assembly. The chances of its adoption are almost nil.

“Of course I will vote for it”, assures Fabien Roussel this morning on BFMTV, after expressing hesitation.

Uber is accused of brutal and even illegal methods in its early days in France by a consortium of journalists including The world. Emmanuel Macron is specifically implicated in this case.

“We are going to think about a commission of inquiry and we are going to discuss it with our friends from Nupes to draw all the consequences”, advances Alexis Corbière this morning on Public Senate.

The purchasing power bill presented this Friday by the government hardly convinces rebellious France.

“It’s not worth a tripette, many of these measures are illusory. (…) The proposed text does not even make it possible to deal with inflation”, judge Alexis Corbière this morning on Public Senate.

The motion of censure tabled by Nupes, on the initiative of rebellious France, and debated this afternoon, is not to the taste of deputy LR Pierre-Henri Dumont.

“A motion of censure, what for? The government would fall, a new one will be reappointed 2 or 3 weeks later, without dissolution (…) It is absolutely useless”, advances the parliamentarian on France info this morning.

In an interview at Figaro, the boss of the Centrists and president of the Normandy region reaffirms his place in the opposition and refuses to join Horizons, the new party of Edouard Philippe.

“What separates us? Not one of our voters would understand that our elected officials who campaigned while being in the opposition could join a coalition two weeks later. of the majority, no one is fooled, including at the Élysée, on the fact that Édouard Philippe is already preparing for 2027…”

The government called on Sunday to “quickly get into battle order” to deal with the possibility of a total cut in Russian gas supplies, “the most likely option” according to the Minister of the Economy Bruno Le Maire.

“Let’s prepare for the total cut off of Russian gas, this is today the most probable option. This supposes that we accelerate our energy independence”, pleaded during the Economic Meetings of Aix-en-Provence the number 2 of the French government, which wants to take advantage of the summer to “get into battle order” before winter.

In the columns of Releasethe boss of the PCF believes that if the Nupes has made it possible to “create momentum”, the left must continue to “talk to the French”, including in areas where Marine Le Pen has made good scores.

“We must be able to tell each other what is right and wrong,” said Fabien Roussel, who several times in recent months has not hesitated to display his differences with his rebellious partners, environmentalists or socialists.
