Why It Matters
Eight candidates for the 2027 presidential election present their proposals on public services during a thematic day on franceinfo.
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 and Raphaël Glucksmann, it is the turn of far-right candidate Eric Zemmour, leader of the Reconquest party, to be questioned. Follow these interventions in our live stream.
• Raphaël Glucksmann defends increases in teaching 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,” continues the candidate.
• 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.
• 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 admitted.
• From Gabriel Attal to Jean-Luc Mélenchon. In total, eight candidates for the presidential election are questioned each in turn on these subjects which most directly structure the daily life of the French: Gabriel Attal (Renaissance) at 10:10 a.m., Fabien Roussel (PCF) at 11:10 a.m., Raphaël Glucksmann (Place publique-PS) at 12:10 p.m., Eric Zemmour (Reconquête) at 1:10 p.m., Bruno Retailleau (Les Républicains) at 2:10 p.m., Marine Tondelier (Les Ecologistes) at 3:10 p.m., Edouard Philippe (Horizons) at 5:10 p.m. and Jean-Luc Mélenchon (La France insoumise) at 6:10 p.m. Marine Le Pen (National Rally) and David Lisnard (New Energie) declined the invitation.
• Three pairs of journalists to interview the candidates. From studio 104 of the Maison de la radio, in Paris, each of the candidates is interviewed by one of the three pairs of interviewers for this special day: Agathe Lambret (Radio France) and Neïla Latrous (France Télévisions), Hadrien Bect (Radio France) and Perrine Storme (France Télévisions), Jean-Rémi Baudot (Radio France) and Myriam Encaoua (France Télévisions).
