While Emmanuel Macron's record in terms of purchasing power is harshly judged by the French, Eric Zemmour intends to score points on this central theme of the campaign.
Invited this Sunday morning at the microphone of Europe 1 / CNews / Les Echos, the candidate of the Renconquête party!
advocated an increase in net salaries.
Eric Zemmour is positioning himself on the theme of purchasing power, which is emerging as a major theme in the presidential election.
While the French severely judge the record of Emmanuel Macron in this area, the candidate of Reconquest!
argues that an increase in take-home pay would boost purchasing power.
Lower CSG
"Me, I am against the class struggle. I want to allow the progression of purchasing power, the increase in the net salary without affecting the competitiveness of companies", explains Eric Zemmour.
"We must improve the net salary without touching the gross salary. I propose the reduction of the CSG for salaries of less than 2,000 euros. This allows an increase in the net salary of 105 euros per month", develops the candidate of Reconquête!.

Reimbursement of gas expenses
How does Eric Zemmour intend to finance this measure?
“By abolishing non-contributory social benefits for foreigners”, assures the former polemicist at the microphone of Sonia Mabrouk.
And, the Reconquest candidate!
goes further in its proposals by evoking the establishment of a "thirteenth, fourteenth or even fifteenth month" but also the reimbursement of petrol costs for the 18 million French people who go to work with their car, on the model of the reimbursement of the Navigo pass.
This reimbursement will be capped at 40 euros.
Regarding family policy, Eric Zemmour proposes to double the family quotient.
"And above all, I propose to give 10,000 euros for each birth in rural areas", he continues.
A way, according to him, to revive the birth rate.
