You know, it always takes a bit of time.
And so the discussion has just started.
In France, the National Assembly passed this 2% minimum tax in February of 2025, very recent.
And then it was blocked by the Senate.
But is it dead or is it going to come back?
No, it's going to come back.
It's going to come back in just a few months, you know, in the next budget discussion.
And why is it going to come back?
It's frankly, it's obvious.
It's because we are not going to be able to solve our public deficit, public debt problems.
It could come back as soon as this fall when we're going to discuss the next budget.
And if it doesn't pass this fall, then we'll have to wait for the next presidential election of 2027.
But look, we're not going to fix our public debt.
