The presidential campaign is getting underway. Marine Le Pen began her speech in her stronghold of Hénin-Beaumont (Pas-de-Calais), Sunday September 13 at 3 p.m., after a weekend of work behind closed doors with the parliamentarians of her party in Le Touquet. She speaks on the social aspect. “We want to take back control of our destiny, to become owners of our future again, it is in the presidential election that this will be decided,” assures the woman who “has made purchasing power her priority” and who promises to unveil “powerful” measures on this subject during the campaign. “Housing is a major subject for you, therefore a major subject for me,” she said, announcing “that it will be at the heart of her presidential project”, “a project of her five-year term”.
Critics from Olivier Faure. The candidate for the socialist primary strongly criticized, on Sunday, the government's proposals for the 2027 budget. While the Minister of the Economy, Roland Lescure, judges it "useful and fair that retirees also contribute to collective efforts", the first secretary of the PS sees "racketeering" in their contributions. He said on BFMTV that it was “not fair” to target retirees.
Jean-Luc Mélenchon pleads for price blocking. At the Fête de l'Humanité, the rebellious candidate gave a speech on Saturday focused on debt and purchasing power, for almost 1h30.
Bruno Retailleau accuses the RN "which claimed to be Joan of Arc of having sold itself to the English". The LR presidential candidate launched this accusation on Saturday, after the symbolic memorandum of understanding signed by its president Jordan Bardella with his anti-European ally Nigel Farage.
#POLITICS For the presidential candidate, housing is “a major subject” of the campaign. “Housing will be at the heart of my presidential fight and, if I am elected, it will be a major project [of my mandate]. I want in five years, the housing situation in France, today so tense, to return to normal.”
#POLITICS "My political approach is an act of love to our people, to these French people who deserve all our attention and all our protection. (...) With us the French, whatever their skin color or their religion, whatever their social origin, will have priority at home."
"With the pride of being French, we will recognize [our fellow citizens] as having the privilege of being so. (...) With us no French person will lose any rights. On the contrary, all will gain them."
#POLITICS “It is unfair that the State comes to take everything from you, prevents you from enjoying life,” says the RN presidential candidate, who calls for a reduction in VAT. “Where does the money go, when taxes and levies increase and services to the French collapse? (...) We must lead the social battle,” she insists.
#POLITICS Assuring that the presidential election will be a "battle for France", Marine Le Pen makes "an oath before you to give everything, (...) and to lead the patriots of France that you are to victory".
#POLITICS "I am not going to overwhelm you with statistics (...) on the misfortune of France, which we know very well. (...) After ten years of Macron, after years of Philippe and Attal, we do not do an analysis, we do an autopsy. Do these people who appear before you again be naive to think that they will escape the inventory? They will not cut it, and the French will vote them out."
#POLITICS She launches her campaign for the presidential election. Marine Le Pen begins her back-to-school speech in Hénin-Beaumont. “Jordan’s birthday” Bardella, she emphasizes.
