Je corrige Julien Odoul

On September 21, 2026, Antoine Léaument was a guest on LCI. The La France Insoumise MP for Essonne debated the issue as the fuel crisis worsened: shortages at gas stations, soaring prices at the pump, and government measures awaited. Facing Julien Odoul (RN) and a liberal guest, he advocated for a price freeze, a levy on oil companies' profits, and a redistribution of wealth, citing figures to support his claims. Shortages, worried healthcare workers… Antoine Léaument asserted that we are already in the midst of an oil crisis: the price of gasoline is preventing people from filling up their tanks. He cited the example of someone having to choose between feeding their son, feeding themselves, or filling their tank, and argued that the central issue is price control. To objections about the risk of shortages, he responded that the lines at Total stations stem from people going where it's cheapest. Julien Odoul is calling for a reduction in VAT from 20% to 5.5% and claims that 60% of the price is made up of taxes. Antoine Léaument considers the National Rally's (RN) complicity with the oil companies scandalous: the figure was accurate in 2018, but his records need updating. On diesel, the fixed tax is €0.60; the private sector's share has increased from €0.56 in 2018 to €1.26 today. The bulk of the increase goes to private profits. The government is encouraging teleworking, and 1.5 million French people are reportedly not claiming the benefits to which they are entitled. For Antoine Léaument, the complexity of the system avoids targeting the oil companies' profits. He points out that most people don't even apply for social assistance, the cost of which Julien Odoul constantly criticizes. One guest estimates the tax cuts at 13-14 billion euros, more than the justice budget, which is financed by debt. Germany, for its part, announces a 0.14 euro tax reduction per liter starting October 1st. Antoine Léaument responds that freezing prices places the burden on the private sector, while Total is raking in billions in profits. He cites the restaurant industry under Sarkozy, where the VAT reduction inflated profit margins, and argues against taking from oil companies' profits. Thierry Breton's chart on the pension freeze sparks the debate. Antoine Léaument denounces a competition to see who can take the most from everyone, emphasizes that those with physically demanding jobs who die earlier are the biggest losers, and advocates for job creation and wage increases. He points out that 61 billion euros in dividends were paid out in three months, the equivalent of the national education budget. Julien Odoul demands a "major overhaul" before any other effort: social welfare fraud, government spending, and agencies. His liberal opponent counters that pensions account for €420 billion of €1.67 trillion in public spending. After an excerpt from an interview with the Argentinian president, the panel compares American and European growth and income levels. Antoine Léaument asks whether the absence of redistribution would benefit the poorest, given that half of the French population earns less than €2,200 per month. He accuses Emmanuel Macron of having lowered taxes for the wealthiest in favor of VAT, which everyone pays, and points out that the wealth of billionaires has increased from €600 billion to €1.2 trillion in ten years. He refuses to allow the portion of wages that goes to social security and pensions to be ignored.
