Invited to the French TV newspaper 2 Tuesday night, the boss of the French start-up wants to open the debate "on both sides" on tax justice
DECRYPTAGE - The plan to tax assets of more than EUR 100 million at the heart of the political debate to 2%. Point by point: the arguments of the economist, who was censored by the left, faced with their counter-arguments.

The economist Gabriel Zucman's proposal to tax 2% of France's highest wealth continues to be debated. For opponents, this would be a hindrance to innovation and for entrepreneurs, especially of the tech. Arthur Mensch, founder of Mistral AI, French and European champion of artificial intelligence, gave his opinion this Tuesday on the plateau of the JT of France 2.
The passage on BFM Business of the unsubstantiated MP Eric Coquerel raised a debate on the proposed floor tax on the most wealthy applied to companies with very high valuation.
Invited to the 20 hours of France 2 to discuss the subject of the Zucman tax, the co-founder of Mistral AI, Arthur Mensch, always shows opposition to it, but specifying to be in favour of a better tax justice. However, his remarks have been distorted by the X account of the chain... which has since apologized.
Supported by the left-wing parties and strongly criticized by the right, the Zucman tax aims to introduce a minimum tax of 2% on assets over EUR 100 million. Presented as a tool of tax justice, it raises concerns, especially in the French start-up ecosystem.
