Again, what I say is not "stricly false" at all, I'm just quoting Le Maire. And he's just talking about taxes, not partial unemployment.

- lazyasciiart 7y agoYou're not just quoting Le Marie, you're arguing that Reuters is wrong.
- jylam 7y agoYes I am. State aid is not only guaranteed bonds. Partial unemployement is, too.
- Pedrit0 7y agoIt cannot be clearer : "Ils devront être suspendus quand les sociétés bénéficient des reports d’échéances fiscales et sociales". The three words "devront être suspendus" explicitly indicates it will be illegal. And the terms "les sociétés bénéficiant des reports d’échéances fiscales et sociales" say that any company benefiting at least from the most basic state-funded help package (related to COVID) is targeted.
- C4stor 7y agoThe title is > French companies benefiting from state aid can't buy back shares You stated "That's a false statement" However it is in fact a true statement, since a law is effectively passed to forbid the very thing the post title describes. Hence stating "That's a false statement" is "strictly false", and quoting a part of an article that explains that the exact thing you're quoting is now outdated doesn't make it less false somehow. If you want to mean that companies "can" still buy back shares, although it's now illegal, well, that's just refusing to give the post title an honest interpretation of what it means.
