verified several of the candidates' claims.
Do only 30% of French people have access to palliative care, as Valérie Pécresse asserts?
Asked about the end of life, the representative of the Republicans said that she wanted to start by enforcing the laws.
“What I believe is that there is a law, Claeys-Leonetti, which allows terminal sedation.
This law is not applied today.
Only 30% of French people have access to it today, ”she answered questions from Nathalie Saint-Cricq.

This Claeys-Leonetti law, which bears the name of the two deputies who presented it under the mandate of François Hollande, gives the right, for patients at the end of life and whose suffering is unbearable, to be put to sleep with medication until until death comes.
Since 2016, it has overseen access to palliative care.
“In fact, nearly 30% of people who need it now benefit from palliative care.
The need to develop palliative care has long been unanimously recognized.
However, despite the efforts of the public authorities, access to palliative care remains very unequal”, declared in 2017 the SFAP (French Society for Support and Palliative Care).
A figure that has not changed since, according to Dr. Claire Fourcade, president of the SFAP, heard by the Senate's social affairs committee in 2021. The government has since launched a national plan which runs until 2024.
Does France's trade deficit amount to 85 billion euros, as Valérie Pécresse says?
“We are in the throes of an absolutely tragic deindustrialisation.
We have an 85 billion euro trade balance deficit, ”said the president of the Ile-de-France region.
And according to the 2021 annual report published by French customs, this statement is correct.
"In 2021, the FOB/FOB trade balance in value fell by 20 billion euros and stood at -84.7 billion, its all-time low," the report said.
According to the document, this decline is driven “by energy and, to a lesser extent, by manufactured goods”.
Franck Riester, the Minister of Foreign Trade, explained: “As regards the balance of goods, the deterioration is mainly due to the increase in the energy bill of 17.9 billion euros”.
In this sense, the theme of the reindustrialization of France has imposed itself in the presidential campaign.
Are there 8 million people who benefit from food aid in France, as claimed by Jean-Luc Mélenchon?
On precariousness, the Insoumis said: “Me, I offer free canteen.
Why ?
Because there are 8 million people on food aid.
This is a figure to be taken with a grain of salt.
"This is how we end up with 8 million people, or about 10% of the French population, who need food aid to live," explained Vincent Destival, general delegate of Secours Catholique, to
Release
in November 2020. A month later, the Minister of Solidarity and Health, Olivier Véran, announced the same figure.
I propose free school canteens first because there are 8 million people who are on food aid.
I want to make sure the kids eat.
Then, because it will allow mayors to choose to put organic products in meals.

So, indeed this figure has already been announced by several reliable sources, on which Jean-Luc Mélenchon was able to rely.
However, in its report published in November 2021, Secours Catholique returned to the information given by its general delegate, announcing: “In 2020, in France, between 5 and 7 million people needed to use it.

For its part, the Secours populaire did not give statistics on the subject, but affirmed that among the French, "30% are unable to obtain healthy food in sufficient quantity to make three meals a day" .
Is it true that all the scenarios of the IPCC, to fight against global warming, require the use of nuclear energy, as assured by Fabien Roussel?
When he debated with Sandrine Rousseau on energies and more particularly nuclear energy, the communist candidate declared that “in all the scenarios of the IPCC, they show that it is necessary to invest in the production of carbon-free nuclear energy”.
A statement that made more than one wink.
Nuclear power is essential today.
Anyone who says the opposite does not want to get out of fossil fuels like oil and coal.
The fight against climate change is a priority.

Fabien Roussel refers to the special report published in 2018, in which the experts drew up four scenarios setting the "trajectories allowing the increase in global temperature to be kept below the bar of +1.5°C by 2100, and up to 'at +2°C'.
In this, each of the trajectories studied provides for an increase in the share of nuclear power in electricity production.
That said, the group specifies that it does not take into account certain questions such as the treatment of waste or security, which are the two main points which lead to such debates on the atom.
Greenpeace recently reacted: “While the IPCC report obliges us to quickly reduce emissions, it is not possible to choose the slowest and most expensive electricity production technology to deploy, as well as the dirtiest and riskiest.
Nuclear is disqualified from the race for the climate fight.
