"The EU wants to develop its own resources: it needs taxes, and they're everywhere," Jean-Paul Garraud expresses alarm.
Between Macron's France and von der Leyen's Europe, it's hard to tell which is imitating or leading the other. Both cling together like two drowning figures, using the same recipes to drag down France and Europe respectively. France narrowly escaped another credit rating downgrade by Moody's on Friday, which miraculously maintained its AA rating. In September, the Fitch agency downgraded our country from AA- to A+. Among the reasons: debt. In June 2017, when Emmanuel Macron took office at the Élysée, the debt stood at 2.281 trillion euros. By the end of September 2025, it reached 3.416 trillion euros, according to INSEE.
To date, the Macron era has therefore increased our debt by 1.135 trillion euros ! And this isn't over. Not to mention everything else. Indeed, the comfortable bourgeoisie who voted for Macron enthusiastically in our major cities in 2017 and then in 2022, "because, you understand, financially speaking, Macron is still very good," can now return their voter cards in shirtsleeves, a noose around their neck and their heads covered in ashes.
The Machine to Ruin Europe Accelerates
In the European Parliament, all the patriots Europe has elected watch the iceberg approach with terror. On October 13, the EU set its overall level of commitment appropriations at 193.26 billion euros. Among the good works of our destructive globalists: education and youth (Erasmus+), Creative Europe (indispensable?), the "Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values" program (very nice, of course), the European Social Fund Plus (?). In this jumble, the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and the Instrument for Integrated Border Management and Visas (BMVI) see their budgets increase: the end of mass immigration for tomorrow ? Not really More money, therefore, for more immigration. The machine to ruin Europe is accelerating. The aforementioned appropriations do not even include NextGenerationEU, an "instrument" endowed with 807 billion euros set up to revive the economy after the Covid-19 pandemic which drove so many companies into the wall. A little nest egg an explosive one ! The Commission, which initially estimated cumulative interest costs at 15 billion euros by 2027, now estimates them between 31 and 35 billion euros. Naturally, because, according to the European Court of Auditors, which examined the 2024 exercise, by 2027, the EU's outstanding debt could exceed 900 billion euros, an amount nearly ten times higher than in 2020, before the creation of NextGenerationEU. European debt, that of the EU, was non-existent and even forbidden for years. What do we say to Ursula von der Leyen and her Pygmalion Emmanuel Macron, who share the same globalizing dreams?
Additional Immigration
That's not all. Mirroring France, the EU is striving to find new taxes to finance its lifestyle and its borrowing. "The EU wants to develop its own resources, beyond member state contributions: it needs taxes, and they're everywhere," notes Jean-Paul Garraud, MEP and head of the RN delegation in the European Parliament, speaking to BV. The Brussels Europe is thus extending its normative and "taxo-predatory" obsession, from driving licenses to greenhouse gases, to the height of hedgerows in the countryside and respect for European values. Thus, "while the EU is busy cutting recovery funds to Hungary (19 billion), banning its students from Erasmus, and slapping it with fines (200 million, +7 million euros per day)," remarks Jean-Paul Garraud, "it generously opens the same Erasmus program to non-European countries whose respect for human rights is sometimes questionable." Among these countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, or Tunisia "A program financed by the EU, which we know will result in additional immigration that directly impacts the lives of our fellow citizens," adds Jean-Paul Garraud.
Meanwhile, next year, France will extract an additional six billion euros from a drained economy to finance the EU. Between Paris and Brussels, whose detachment from the rest of the world is becoming pathetic, the same causes are producing the same effects
