Funding for the reform requires the same amount of money that a tax on the rich removed by the current gouvernment previously generated.

The rioters (1200), probably not. The protesters (1 200 000 to 3 300 000) supported by 94% of the current workforce according to polls running since late 2022, probably yes.

There are 40 to 120 billion euros to be found in tax evasion in incomes superior to 28k euros per annum per head. The funding for recuperation of that fraud is inferior to that invested in health insurance fraud, which represents only a 200 million euro possible recuperation.
Even a 1% success rate would on former would represent twice as much gouvernment income as a 100% success rate on the later, which is receiving more funding. A 10% success rate would solve the problem for half the anticipated deficit...
This seems like a very obviously sound financial investment, which has been proposed as an alternative by every major french labour union, yet disregarded completely as no discussion or negociation has been allowed by the, arguably bad faith, use of political tools currently available to the gouvernment.
