This Monday morning, the government published its first post on its new fact checking account on social network X. The goal is to "re-establish the facts, directly and quickly," especially after the presentation of draft budget 2027, which aroused strong reactions.
Only four days after the budget was presented for 2027, the executive launched an X account to check the numbers and correct what he considered false or misleading information. For his very first post, "Let's Be Precise" attacked the president of Medef Patrick Martin. An entry in the matter that already reveals a battle of numbers and, above all, two ways of counting the levies on companies.
After the "Leaks", Sébastien Lecornu now seems to be worried about the bad information or interpretations that can circulate on his budget.
Sébastien Lecornu's team has launched an account on this social network to respond to the criticisms she considers unfounded and correct what she believes to be falsehoods.
The government wants to answer on X "false or misleading information" that relates to its action. Its first reply refers to the calculations of the Medef, who defends himself from any factual error.
