The program of the president-candidate should also be detailed in a notebook of about twenty pages which must be unveiled at the end of the week, had indicated to AFP his entourage last week.
Emmanuel Macron, who declared himself a candidate in early March, has since organized only one public event: a meeting with 250 inhabitants of Poissy (Yvelines) last Monday, where he began to outline the main themes of his program.
He explained that he wanted to propose "four major pacts" to the French: a "European pact" to defend Europe and its security, a "pact between generations", covering the subjects of education, health and autonomy, a "productive pact for employment and "reindustrializing the country" and a "republican pact" on the subjects of "immigration, secularism, security and integration".
To achieve them, he said he wanted to "change the method and associate the French and the French including throughout the five-year term", citing as an example the Citizen's Convention on the climate.
“For months, we will have a new great permanent debate to act,” he launched in a campaign video on Saturday.
He also mentioned "the care of dependency and therefore a real project of autonomy for old age", "strong measures for ecology, equality between women and men, for inclusion" as well as institutional reforms.
Some of his campaign proposals have already been announced by his team, starting with the highly controversial pension reform, with the postponement of the retirement age to 65 and the abolition of part of the schemes. specials.
Emmanuel Macron also revealed to Poissy his intention to abolish the TV license fee, to triple the ceiling of the tax-exempt "Macron bonus" or even to give a "food voucher" to help the less fortunate to access "quality food".
For education, he wants to give more space to companies in vocational high schools and during orientation sessions in college, set up 30 minutes of daily sport in primary school and give greater autonomy to school directors.
The holding of Thursday's press conference remains dependent on his obligations as head of state, in particular linked to the Russian invasion of Ukraine, said his entourage.
