As France's government prepared to unveil a raft of new austerity measures Wednesday, some of the country's richest people were urging Paris to tax them more in order to help solve the country's financial problems.
The billionaire heiress of L'Oreal and the head of Total oil were among 16 business executives and super-rich individuals to publish a petition to the French government calling for a "special contribution" that would target the very wealthy.
The petition, published Tuesday on the website of weekly magazine Le Nouvel Observateur, follows a call by American billionaire Warren Buffett for US authorities to raise taxes for himself and other ultra-wealthy earners.
Liliane Bettencourt Bildunterschrift: Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift:French Prime Minister Francois Fillon was expected to announce on Wednesday a series of spending cuts and tax hikes aimed at saving some 14 billion euros ($20 million).
President Nicolas Sarkozy ordered the savings measures two weeks ago amid rumors that the country would lose its top-notch, triple-A credit rating - rumors that caused French bank stocks to plummet.
The need for new austerity measures arose as France's economic growth stalled for the second quarter of the year, after a robust 0.9 percent growth during the first three months of 2011.
The country aims to cut its public deficit to 5.7 percent this year and reach the European Union's theoretical maximum of 3 percent in 2013. Sarkozy, meanwhile, is targeting his low popularity ratings, currently 33 percent, ahead of national elections next year.
