I Foreign interference: Marine Le Pen expected at the National Assembly this afternoon

This afternoon, Marine Le Pen will appear in the National Assembly before the parliamentary inquiry committee on foreign interference for a hearing that should give pride of place to Russia and a loan taken out by the former FN in 2014. Last week, RN deputy Jean-Philippe Tanguy, also chair of the commission of inquiry, indicated that “we said from the beginning that Marine Le Pen would be at the disposal of the inquiry committee, we have not changed our mind.

Council of Ministers: the government introduces its value-sharing bill

On behalf of the Council of Ministers on Wednesday, the government is presenting its value-sharing bill, a “faithful” transposition of an agreement concluded between unions and employers to generalize the sharing of corporate profits among employees. Despite the tensions generated by the pension reform, the executive sees this agreement as proof that social dialogue is still possible. The national interprofessional agreement (ANI) aims in particular to widely generalize mechanisms such as profit-sharing, participation or value-sharing bonuses (PPV) to all companies with more than 11 employees, as well as to develop employee share ownership. This agreement was concluded in February in a context of high inflation.
