Touch the “ oil company profits »

Neither very ecological nor very effective according to LFI MP Éric Coquerel: “ As long as we don’t touch the dividends, the profits of the oil companies, by forcing them to lower prices, it won’t happen, that’s it! Everything else is wishful thinking… »
In any case, a rare thing, Nupes is on the same wavelength: participating, but above all so as not to be criticized for an empty chair policy.
