Legislative 2024: they demand “stability” and “readability”, how the bosses are experiencing the current political situation

The craftsmen demand, like the business leaders, that we “do not change the rules every 4 days”. MAXPPP – xavier de torres

A look into the minds of business leaders in the very uncertain political context that the country is going through today.

Of "stability", but also of "clarity& quot;. These are, like what Eric Giraudier, president of the CCI Gard, asks for, the expectations of the bosses in the face of the vagueness which accompanies the political context of the country today. With, in the background, a possible RN government and its economic measures. "A heading once to the left, once to the right, it's obvious that it disrupts our activity", comments Ludovic Werry, co-manager of the company Audemard Énergies, based in Jonquières-Saint-Vincent, in Gard and specializing in renewable energies.

If he refuses to comment on the RN, the young craftsman prefers to remember only one thing: "today& rsquo;today, we inevitably wonder, but the reality is that politicians make promises that they do not always keep". "It is true that the current situation does not necessarily create the best conditions to promote trade", insists Pascal Fulla, at the head of the Le Mas de l’Scripture wine estate, in Jonquières, in Hérault. He adds: "For a business leader, political stability can only favor the business".

The employers' unions will hear the party leaders

After a moment of hesitation and hesitation, the bosses, through their respective unions, decided to play their role in the debate around the legislative elections. The Medef thus announces that it will receive, Thursday, June 20, in hearing "all party and coalition leaders" . Hearings in which the presidents of the CPME and the U2P, the other employers' unions will also participate.

But already, François Asselin, president of the CMPE, which brings together small and medium-sized businesses, estimates, in an interview with Challenges magazine, that "the economic program of the RN would lead France into the wall. Another reaction, that of the Union of Independents and VSEs. "The proposal for a minimum wage of 1 600 euros net per month is impossible to assume as it stands by VSEs and demagogic from the point of view of view of employees whose purchasing power reduced by the removal of access to social assistance would render the efforts made by employers meaningless", assures Marc Sanchez, its president .

"LFI wants to make our situation worse"

President of the Aude Winegrowers' Union, Frédéric Rouanet complains that all the legislative work undertaken following the winegrowers' revolt has been paralyzed. "We're not even sure that the promises will ever be kept", he wonders. He specifies that he will meet the candidates who request him, "and then we will see afterwards". Freddy Paulet, winegrower in Moussac, in the Gard, is under no illusion: "there is no that the policies to get us out of the current situation".

For him, LFI "wants to worsen our situation by wanting to once again eliminate phytosanitary products". As for the RN, "it’is the only party which, in its program, would really help us". President of the Hérault Chamber of Trades, Christian Poujol does not beat around the bush. "At some point, you shouldn't come and complain about seeing those you don't want arrive one day, he says . Today, it is the minorities who are in charge".

"Do not break the cycle of the economy"

He criticizes the current situation: "What the craftsmen expect is that we do not don't change the rules every 4 days and stop taking them regularly from everything". Upon arrival, he estimates, "many craftsmen must today say to themselves that they are very happy to make a move foot in the anthill". Eric Giraudier, for his part, asks only one thing, that we "do not break the cycle of the economy, with new measures that would penalize the economy. rsquo;activity".
