Marine Le Pen denounces "exaggerations" and "untruths" in the government's stimulus plan, which must be examined by deputies at the end of the month.

In a video of a dozen minutes broadcast Tuesday evening, the candidate for the Elysee sees it as a "sprinkling of technical measures" which "highlights the weaknesses of those who call themselves an infallible elite".

The president of the National Gathering estimates that this plan integrates several measures already announced, such as the youth plan, the measures of the Ségur de la Santé, or investments in technological sectors, which represent "46 billion euros of guarantees of credits already committed and financing to be repaid later by the French "out of the 100 billion of the plan.

It also criticizes its "financing conditions".

For her, it is "false" to say that 40 billion of the plan will be financed by the European Union.

"France has accepted (...) to get into debt on less favorable terms than if it had done it alone" and "since this European debt will be repaid (...) up to the weight of each Member State in the GDP of the EU, France will have to reimburse at least 67 billion euros "and not 40, develops the leader of the extreme right.

The member for Pas-de-Calais proposes for her part "a large national loan remunerated at 2%", and recourse to "the sovereign loan of France" for the remaining financing needs.

She also denounces the "Kafkaesque administrative complexity" of the plan, and insists "on the inadequacy of measures with regard to SMEs, a real blind spot in government policy", which will only be 20,000 to benefit from the plan. , according to her.

Marine Le Pen suggests, especially for small businesses, that "part of the loans guaranteed by the State, already granted to businesses, (be) converted into equity in proportion to the losses in turnover".

She deplores that "all sectors indiscriminately" are supported "without great coherence" and calls for more aid for agriculture, nuclear power, training, health, as well as "measures of industrial sovereignty".

Defending an economy "rooted in (the) territories", "creator of value and jobs", and "preserved from unfair international competition", it defends a "territorial opening up" particularly in terms of health and road infrastructure and railways.
