Emmanuel Capus
Emmanuel Capus is a French politician affiliated with the Horizons party, known for his critical stance on various fiscal policies. Recently, he was in the news for opposing the 'Zucman tax,' a proposed wealth tax on the ultra-rich, which has been a contentious topic in the French Parliament. As the rapporteur for the bill in the Senate, Capus described the proposed tax as 'probably unconstitutional and economically harmful,' reflecting the broader resistance from the right-leaning majority in the Senate against such fiscal measures.
