Presidential 2027: interviews with several candidates for the presidential election, as part of the “Our public services” operation, resume at 5:10 p.m.

What access to care policy should we encourage? How to reform the education system? How can we ensure the security of the French people more effectively? Here are several of the questions to which eight of the main candidates for the 2027 presidential election must answer, Thursday, November 12, on the occasion of a special day devoted to “Our public services” on the various franceinfo channels. After Gabriel Attal, Fabien Roussel, Raphaël Glucksmann, Eric Zemmour and Bruno Retailleau, it is the turn of the environmentalist candidate Marine Tondelier to be questioned Thursday afternoon. These interviews resume at 5:10 p.m. with Edouard Philippe, then at 6:10 p.m. with Jean-Luc Mélenchon. Follow these interventions in our live stream.

• Marine Tondelier proposes to tax the 1% highest inheritances at 20%. “This is how we finance this major ecological transition plan,” says the Ecologist candidate. This will bring in, according to her, 10 billion euros in 2027. The ecologist wants to create a public ecology service, as well as “a fleet of one million electric cars”.

• “French bureaucracy kills,” says Bruno Retailleau. The candidate notably defends the use of artificial intelligence to simplify the administrative tasks of doctors. “With AI, we can save 300,000 positions,” continues the LR candidate, questioned about his proposal to eliminate 400,000 civil servant positions.

• Eric Zemmour calls for the recruitment of 40,000 prison guards. The objective, for the far-right candidate: “Very quickly build 200,000 prefabricated prison places”, proposes the leader of the Reconquest party. Eric Zemmour also proposes “minimum sentences” in order to “impose a minimum of sentences on an offender”.

• Raphaël Glucksmann defends increases in education. He mentions salary increases of up to 25% “in mid-career”, and “10% for all teachers”. The Place publique-PS candidate also proposes a moratorium on school closures in rural areas which are taken without consultation. “What makes our nation’s identity is the culture of public schools.” “We must impose social diversity which is being abandoned,” adds Raphaël Glucksmann.

• Fabien Roussel proposes the recruitment of 500,000 people in public services. The communist candidate also wants an increase of “10% of the index point now”. How to finance it? “Money flows freely but not into our pockets. If we have to find fifteen billion euros in five years, we will find them,” assures Fabien Roussel. Watch his interview in full.

• Gabriel Attal proposes a voluntary departure plan in the public service. First to give his grand oral on franceinfo, Thursday morning, the Renaissance candidate defended his proposal to open a voluntary departure plan in the public service which would concern 100,000 positions. “The objective is that it allows us to do better with a little less,” he added.
