The interview lasts 1 hour, but Jean-Christophe Picard, President of the anti-corruption Anticor association, is so posed and so convincing that it is not so long to listen!
Many topics are discussed without language: tax optimization, corruption, delaying tactics, political intervention, abuse of public property, brakes and judicial corruptions, power lobbies, political ethics, fragility of whistleblowers, reports of the Court of Accounts, GAFA, etc ...
He speaks of it with a calmness and a frankness that it is good to hear ... even if the tone sometimes borders with a false naivety and a surprise a little disconcerting with regard to the subject; but it's his touch of humor to play down this dramatic subject.
Some eloquent sentences from the speech of this gentleman so diplomatic, and who challenged me:
- "Tax optimization is tolerated fraud"
- "In France each year, the cost of optimization and tax evasion is estimated between 80 and 100 billion euros, knowing that our deficit is less than 100 billion, ... the deficit of the France is quite simply our inability to fight against fraud and tax optimization. If we managed to get the money that should come in, France would be in surplus ".
- "In Europe, tax fraud is 1000 billion € per year".
- "In France, what is surprising is that there are no official figures on fraud ... we are in denial".
- "France is a paradise for delaying tactics". (to save time in the legal field. "In Spain the treasurer of a ruling party was sentenced to 33 years in prison for corruption, in France our corruption trials last 33 years!")
- "In the Scandinavian countries there is a high transparency, and a very low corruption. These are countries where people feel the happiest and I think that it is linked with the very good distribution of wealth: when the money is well spent we have better public services, we pay less taxes, ... "
- "After comparing the programs of the candidates for the presidential election on the moralization of political life, the 3 who made the most proposals were: Mélenchon, Dupont-Aignan and Hamon".
- "In France, people like elected officials who have pots and pans!" (citing a theory by Philippe Séguin)
- According to an IFOP poll, in France there are only 65% of the population who think that the President of the Republic must be honest ".
The viewing of this interview should be made mandatory for all politicians, politicians, officials, etc., in fact for everyone ... even yellow vests would find ideas of clear and concrete claims!
