Multiple parties are jockeying for position in the aftermath of France’s seismic snap election. The leftist New Popular Front (NPF) insists its ideas should be implemented.

France’s left wing New Popular Front (NPF) - now the largest group in parliament - has called for a prime minister who will implement its ideas including a new wealth tax and petrol price controls.

The leftist alliance secured the most seats in the recent French elections but fell short of the 289 needed for a majority in the National Assembly, France’s lower house of parliament.

President Emmanuel Macron’s Together bloc came in second and Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally (RN) party finished third.

France’s parties are now jockeying for position and it’s unclear exactly how things will shake out, but the NPF has insisted it will implement its radical set of ideas.

    I see, in french “Evasion fiscale” refer to both legal and illegal practices, which does create confusion sometimes when talking about it. We have other terms to clarify like “fraude fiscale” and “optimisation fiscale” but evasion is synonymous to both. When french NFP party talks about fighting “evasion fiscale” they mean they plan to fight both. Maybe the distinction got lost in translation.
