“I want to find solutions for the French, make proposals in the public debate, as I have done in the past.
It was I who proposed the €1,000 bonus under the Yellow Vests, which became the Macron bonus.

I want to be useful to the French, in response to their daily problems.

The situation in the hospital is critical
On the situation of the hospital, which he considers "critical", he fears that "many caregivers will give up".
But in his eyes, "the false good idea is the obligation to settle in one place" for doctors, even if the medical network shows inequalities in terms of care on the territory.
As for the immigration bill carried by the Ministries of the Interior and Labour, he considers it insufficient on the objectives of application of the decisions of deportation to the borders as well as on the management of immigration in relation to employment needs. .
On this aspect, Xavier Bertrand recommends a policy of quotas.
