Charles Pellegrin is pleased to welcome Nicolas Vercken, Director of Advocacy for Oxfam France. France’s tax inequality is under scrutiny and Oxfam is challenging the state over its constitutional obligations. “It’s not so much about how much the percentage of tax and the burden of our tax system, it’s who you tax and for what,” explains Vercken. As France confronts mounting fiscal pressures and contentious budget negotiations, Oxfam France is challenging the constitutional foundations of the country's tax system, arguing that successive fiscal reforms have disproportionately benefited the wealthiest while exacerbating economic inequality. Their legal initiative seeks to establish whether the French state has failed in its constitutional obligations, potentially placing fiscal inequality under judicial scrutiny for years to come. #Oxfam #France #Tax 🔔 Subscribe to France 24 now: https://f24.my/YTen 🔴 LIVE - Watch FRANCE 24 English 24/7 here: https://f24.my/YTliveEN 🌍 Read the late
