My Stomach Isnt Cleaning

PLUMB is received at Bercy


On behalf of the PLUMB, I was received by a member of the Cabinet of the Minister of Finance to present the petition 3800 signatures.

This allowed me to describe in detail our main application, namely: the prohibition on banks to debit customers' accounts without authorization thereof.

In a very interesting discussion during which clashed legal approach and practical use, it shows this:
In absolute terms, yes, it is forbidden to touch a bank customer's account, but usage has made us forget this rule.

is what happens when citizens lack of vigilance and forget to defend their rights.

Even if one can fear a stiffening of the banks if the measure is imposed, things will recover quickly in order under the pressure of competition.

I gladly acknowledge that my interlocutor has never been an advocate for banks. He is well aware of the social disaster that they cause.

Next step, meeting with the Minister of Justice and then with the Minister of Economy in the company of Maxime Gremetz is thoroughly with us since the start and uses all his powers of persuasion to get appointments and defend our cause.

Our goal is that banks have the bill for their services and are awaiting authorization from the client instead of using the accounts.

There is still a long way to go, but what path with you all last year, my dear friends who never gave up.
