“A guy in an office one morning who decides that we are going to sell at a loss.” Modem MP Richard Ramos, known for his willingly iconoclastic positions, mocked the government’s proposal to fuel distributors to sell at a loss to limit the rise in prices. An “error” on which Matignon “will persist”, according to him.
“It’s stupidity,” blurted
the ally of the majority
on
RTL
, castigating “a guy in an office one morning who decides that we are going to sell at a loss”. “They smoked the carpet,” he criticized, keen to preserve in particular the approximately 6,000 independent service stations.
“Elements of language”
“They have to be wary because in the hemicycle, whether it is the people of the opposition or the people of the majority who are going to be in rural areas (…) it is not certain that it will pass “, he added, about this measure that the government intends to include in the bill on commercial negotiations between producers and distributors presented at the beginning of October.
“So we are going to bring back on the sets those who will have the language elements that we sent them by text message (…) but in the meantime, there are some who will not vote,” predicted Richard Ramos.
He has on his side
proposed to reduce part of the fuel taxes
the TICPE precisely (domestic consumption tax on energy products) so that the liter of gasoline does not exceed 1.90 euros.
Amounting to around 2 billion euros in shortfall for the State according to him, this measure corresponds, he defended, to “a political choice”
in favor of “the middle classes and the most humble”
who need their car to go to work.
