- In an interview at Parisian in early January, he also announced that he would not increase Taxes, that it would review the working conditions and remuneration of certain professions such as caregivers and teachers. He wants to think about a inheritance tax reform to “accompany people to help them transmit modest heritages” and intends to fight against “the entrenchment of poverty”.
- The theme of health imposes itself in this campaign after two years of pandemic. The medical sector has hammered its dissatisfaction and insisted on the lack of means and improvements despite the holding of Ségur. Also, the ministry says it is thinking about a “structural reform of the public hospital” without giving further details except that concerning the “floating of wages”.
