Overview

• The Medef president announced at Bpifrance's BIG event that all employer groups will convene an "enormous meeting" in a few days.
• He said the gathering will assert companies' contribution to the public interest and counter what he called "dangerous theories" for businesses.
• Martin singled out the proposed "taxe Zucman," described as a minimum 2% annual levy on the wealth of roughly 1,800 of the richest, including professional assets.
• The mobilisation will take the form of large meetings rather than street protests, bringing together thousands of business leaders across sizes, sectors and regions.
• Medef declined to provide the date and venue, as the announcement comes during budget negotiations where taxation of the richest features in talks between the prime minister and the Socialist Party.
