Struggling in the polls, Valérie Pécresse officially presented her presidential project on Monday "for rupture" and "reconstruction", presenting it as the only "credible" against Emmanuel Macron.
Four weeks before the first round of the presidential election, candidate LR defended a "republican right project".
A disruptive program.
Valérie Pécresse officially launched her presidential project on Monday, in a Parisian hotel.
A "republican right project", without much new measure, but promising "a fairer reconstruction with four commitments" on the power of the country, authority, sustainable prosperity and the social pact.
In particular, it highlighted in a summary document 12 "flagship measures": introduction of immigration quotas, 10% increase in wages, return of universal family allowances, sending 4,000 doctors to nursing homes...

Make your proposals coherent
One month before the first round of the presidential election, Valérie Pécresse wants to give a form of coherence to all the proposals she has declined so far.
No big news strictly speaking, but the highlighting of its flagship measures such as the debureaucratization with the abolition of 500 public bodies deemed useless, an ORSEC plan for justice with the recruitment of 16,000 prosecutor judges for clerks or the construction of six new EPR reactors.

"The surprise of the second round"
Valérie Pécresse claims it, her project is the most solid and represents a real alternative to Emmanuel Macron.
Candidate LR wishes to compensate for "France's loss of strategic autonomy, revealed by the Covid-19 crisis and the war in Ukraine".
She argued this morning that her program is "a project of rupture in the face of a crisis of authority that the country is experiencing, in the face of deindustrialization, purchasing power at half mast and France's inaction in the face of the "ecological emergency".
If Valérie Pécresse has often been criticized for only offering technical proposals, without a story, she has now decided to make it a strength and to assert herself as the candidate for solutions.
She will be on TF1 this evening for a program devoted to the war in Ukraine, a format that she likes and on which she relies to try to go up in the polls: "I will be surprised in the second round by the power and credibility of my project”, she hammered.
