Presidential 2027: follow the interview with Bruno Retailleau, fifth of the eight candidates interviewed as part of the “Our public services” operation

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 and Eric Zemmour, it is the turn of LR candidate Bruno Retailleau to be questioned. Follow these interventions in our live stream.

• 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 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,” 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.

• 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.
