Shortly after President-candidate Emmanuel Macron unveiled the main lines of his program for the presidential election, his opponents were quick to react.
Valérie Pécresse, for example, swept away the "great permanent debate" wanted by the Head of State, while Nathalie Arthaud castigated "work at seven euros an hour".
It was the presidential campaign event on Thursday.
President-candidate Emmanuel Macron, given the lead in the first round in all the polls, presented his program to the French at a press conference in Aubervilliers, near Paris.
RSA, school, health... The outgoing president mentioned the central themes of his policy if he is re-elected on April 24, the evening of the second round.
His opponents reacted immediately to his speech.
"Macron wants to invent work at seven euros an hour!"
Republican candidate Valérie Pécresse (LR) was one of the first to react.
"You promise 'a great permanent debate' with the French, but how can you believe you when you deprive them of the most important debate, that of the presidential election?", Lambasted the president of Île-de-France.
She was referring to her decision not to debate with the other contenders for the Elysée.
On the left, far-left candidate Nathalie Arthaud (LO) returned to the reform of the RSA: "15-20 hours of work per week for the RSA. In addition to retirement at 65, Macron wants to invent work at seven euros an hour! Even less than the minimum wage!".
"To apply the 'program' that he is presenting, can we know how much Macron still intends to distribute money from the French to American private consulting firms that do not pay their taxes in France?" on Twitter the number two of La France insoumise Adrien Quatennens.
The communist Fabien Roussel, meanwhile, described the outgoing president's program as a "damage program".
The only valid question: how much did Macron pay McKinsey for such a scrapping program?
