Press release Vivendi to payback 4 billion euros received in tax benefits ! Since 2004, the global leader of entairnement and gambling had received 4 billion euros from the French Government in exchange of a promise of jobs creation. Instead of creating those jobs, Vivendi had destroyed 7,033 more. « Because the group went short on its promise and didn’t respect its commitments with the State, Vivendi must reimbursed the 4 billion (euros)». That is what the 32,000 people, who have signed the petition on Change.org, are demanding. « But it is not enough. We must go further, for there is a precedent with the french government asking to Vivendi - in february 2015 - to reimburse 1,34 billion received in tax credit », according to Philippe Fontfrède, the author of the Change.org petition http://chn.ge/1vgxMgD Philippe Fontfrède is adding this : « All French parliamentaries, ministers and political parties are always claiming to fight fiscal optimization. Meanwhile, French taxpayers are asking for results not speech. New actions are already planned to oblige Vivendi to reimburse those 4 billions of euros. The fight continues ». Philippe Fontfrède is a Digital specialist in France. He totalises 20 years of experience in the sector. Since 2004, he has settled as a whistleblower. As such, in 2011, Vivendi SFR has been trying to silence him. Press contact : Philippe Fontfrède
