Overview
- Mathilde Panot, who spoke Tuesday, laid out LFI’s fiscal program on BFMTV-RMC and said the richest have “decided to secede,” calling for measures to exclude those who refuse to help the nation.
- The package includes reinstating a wealth tax, a ‘taxe Zucman’ with a minimum 2% levy on fortunes above €100 million, 14 income‑tax brackets to lower levies for people earning under €4,000 a month, and seizure of inheritances above €12 million.
- Panot said LFI would seek to tax wealthy people who emigrate by applying a differential tax if the party wins power and justified the plan by citing social harms including a reported 960 homeless deaths in 2025.
- Éric Coquerel backed the critique on LCI and said the 500 largest fortunes roughly doubled in the past decade, framing the measures as a response to rising concentration of wealth.
- The proposals echo earlier Manon Aubry remarks and revive contested tools such as the Zucman tax that passed the Assembly in 2025 but failed in the Senate, setting up a likely political fight over legality, enforcement and capital flight.
