• "20 Minutes" reviewed five assertions made by Emmanuel Macron during the presentation of its program on Thursday

A press conference of more than four hours to present his program for the presidential election.

Thursday in Aubervilliers, in the Paris suburbs, Emmanuel Macron defended the results of his five-year term and presented his candidate project.

The opportunity to multiply the statements, from youth unemployment which would never have been so low, to the number of police officers or French people without a doctor.

The president-candidate also justified his refusal to participate in a debate with the other presidential candidates.

reviews them.

• “The

  youth unemployment rate [reaches] its lowest level in forty years”.

While unemployment among 15-24 year olds is actually down, it is not at its lowest level in forty years.

In 2021, 18.1% of young people in this age group were unemployed, according to INSEE.

In 1981, 16.3% of these young people were looking for a job.

However, the level for 2021 is one of the lowest for forty years: youth unemployment has fallen below 18% only twice since 1981, in 1989 and in 2008.

• “When I look at things, from General de Gaulle to President Mitterrand, to President Chirac, […] none of my predecessors in office standing for election has had a debate.

Our verification in video:

• “Our teachers are paid much less than in the rest of the OECD countries and Europe at the start of their career.

  Gradually, then, they catch up.

  They are better paid in retirement.

  »

The OECD data do not give teachers' salaries at the time of retirement.

However, they provide those at the top of the echelon.

Whether at the start of their career or at the top of the level, French teachers in primary education or those in upper secondary education are paid less than the average of the 35 OECD countries.

A French primary school teacher will receive 31,873 dollars, approximately 28,890 euros, at the start of his career, and 56,900 dollars, or 50,759 euros at the highest level, when the average for OECD countries is respectively 34,645 dollars (31,409 euros) and 57,913 dollars, or 52.00 euros.

As of September 30, 2021, there were 6.3 million French people without a doctor, details Health Insurance from

.

Reported to a population of 67.4 million inhabitants according to the latest calculations by INSEE, this makes about 10% of French people who do not have a doctor.

Men, patients aged 17 to 29 and patients with no long-term illness are the categories that reported the least number of attending physicians.

Being attached to a treating doctor allows you to be better reimbursed.

However, due to medical demographics, French people say they have difficulty finding a general practitioner who agrees to be their referring doctor.

In this case, they can turn to the mediator of their affiliated fund to find a solution.

Finally, for those whose general practitioner ceases his activity, “his patients remain attached to him as a treating doctor so that they are not penalized in their reimbursement”, completes the Health Insurance.

• “The 10,000 police and gendarme posts to which I had committed have been created.

For the Ministry of the Interior, this promise made by Emmanuel Macron in 2017 is kept.

Place Beauvau advances to

 the creation until the end of the year of 7,464 positions in the national police and 1,609 in the gendarmerie, or 9,073 positions.

It is necessary to add to these figures “the workforce in the course of education and the 1,200 positions created at the DGSI”, completes the ministry.
