Liberal turn for Emmanuel Macron who is seeking a second term in this presidential election.
The outgoing president wants a France where “everyone works more”, with a retirement postponed to 65 and an RSA conditioned on hours of activity, but in return promises full employment in five years.
Favorable to companies, whose taxes would be reduced by 10 billion euros, he proposes that they intervene in college for orientation sessions, in a school where teachers would be rewarded on merit.
It also proposes a series of social measures: allowing couples in a common-law union to jointly declare their tax, automatically paying aid or raising the minimum pension at the full rate to 1,100 euros.
If he is now for an energy mix with more nuclear power, he wants to develop renewable energies in parallel.
Here are the details of the main measures of the president-candidate, who has quantified his program at 50 billion euros per year, excluding tax cuts.
