LE PEN PROGRAM. The candidate of the National Rally has changed her presidential project in recent years. Here is her program for the 2022 presidential election and what she proposed during the previous election.
Candidate for her third consecutive presidential election, Marine Le Pen promises this year to “put France in order by ensuring the protection of the French”. While the candidate of the National Rally is given in the second round of the ballot by the latest results of the polls to date, the time has come to take stock of what she is concretely proposing. Retirement, immigration, youth… Several areas are already highlighted in its program:
- Marine Le Pen takes a step aside on the question of retreats and after having defended a single system and retirement at 60 and with 40 annuities for everyone, she now advocates a “progressive system” in which the French who started working before the age of 24 will be able to retire from 60 years. The acquisition of 40 annuities will always be necessary but the idea behind the measure is that “the earlier you started working, the more you have to retire at a reasonable age.” “Because when you start early, it’s often because you do manual work, whereas when you enter working life later, it’s often because you do intellectual work that is much less tiring. “, supports the candidate RN.
- The RN candidate wishes to register the national preference in the Constitution. In concrete terms, this consists of reserving advantages for people with the French nationality compared to foreigners. To apply this measure, Marine Le Pen intends to set up a referendum. His law would also be “constitutional on immigration”. “In reality the main problem is the problem of immigration. It is on this subject of theimmigration that abusive case law, very often more than international texts, has deprived the French, the public authorities, of the possibility of acting”, she explains.
- The youth is also an important issue in its program. It highlights in particular a triptych “protect, project, transmit.” It wishes to promote entrepreneurship among young people (“total” exemption from tax over five years), their training (a training voucher for companies) or “public loans capped at zero rate” for “young families “whose “outstanding capital (will be) erased from the third child”. For the “transmit” component, Marine Le Pen announced an “evolution of taxation on donations and inheritances”.
- Emmanuel Macron’s presidency of the European Union imposed the subject of european politics in presidential campaigns. Marine Le Pen presented her project at a press conference on January 18. If she no longer wishes to leave the European Union as in 2017, she defends a “Europe of nations and intends to “put the EU back in its place”, i.e. a step above national sovereignty. The candidate explains in her program that she wants to establish the superiority of constitutional law over European law.
What about Marine Le Pen’s program in 2017?
Five years ago, Marine Le Pen proposed a somewhat different program, even if certain points have not evolved over the last five years. Here are the first 10 bars of his program at the time:
- Suspension of the Schengen agreements and a restoration of border control.
- Expulsion of all foreign S files and the implementation of article 411-4 of the penal code to deprive of nationality and prohibit from territory the dual nationals convinced of links with jihadism.
- Repeal of the Dati and Taubira penal laws to put an end to “judicial laxity”.
- Organization of a referendum on a major institutional reform to introduce, among other things, proportional representation, the popular initiative referendum, national priority, “the defense of our identity as a people and our historical and cultural heritage” and the reduction of the number of deputies and senators.
- Reduction of 10% of the first three brackets of income tax and the restoration of the additional half tax share for widows and widowers. In detail, donations from parents to their children would be exempt from tax within the limit of 100,000 euros per child every five years and 50,000 euros for grandchildren.
- Marine Le Pen also wants the restoration of retirement at age 60 with 40 annual contributions.
- Abolition of state medical aid reserved for illegal immigrants
