Candidate for re-election as President of the French Republic for the first month of April, Emmanuel Macron presented an ambitious program based on a few principles: invest 50.000 million euros per year, for a five-year period, in national independence and sovereignty. , lower taxes on families and companies by 15.000 million euros, and consolidate national unity by working more and reinforcing solidarity.
If he is re-elected president, as all the investigations massively predict, Macron proposes to strengthen the independence and sovereignty of France with "massive" investments in four sectors: defense, agriculture and industry, energy, culture and information.
The candidate/president announced the investment of 50.000 million euros in new families of weapons, increasing the capacity to intervene in hybrid conflicts.
Macron wants to "generalize" national and universal service "in order to repay the essential pact between our armies and the nation."
Seriously, Macron weighed an investment of 30.000 million euros to strengthen France's industrial capacity in new technologies. At the same time, he announces an aid and relief plan for agriculture, a sector victim of depopulation and a tragic tendency to suicide: an English farmer puts an end to his life every three days.
Energy production
In terms of energy independence, Macron ratified his strategic decision: "Nuclear energy is the safest, the most ecological, the one that produces the least pollution." The construction of six new next-generation reactors was confirmed, accelerating the study of another eight reactors. Without forgetting substantial investments in other models of energy production, "to make France the first great nation to come out of dependence on gas and oil".
Macron also fundamentally considered reaffirming the cultural and informational independence of France, reaffirming the central point of language and cultural industries as strategic sectors, with a basic importance of “free and independent” information.
National independence reaffirmed to better "continue reforming and favoring national unity and solidarity."
First reform of the new presidential mandate… the promised and unrealized reform of the national pension system, with two sensitive announcements: the retirement age will “gradually” go from 62 to 65 years; the minimum pension will amount to 1.100 euros per month.
The new reform of the national pension system for a revaluation of the salaries of various professions, in education and the health system, to be negotiated between all social agents.
Education and research
In Macron's opinion, sovereignty and national unity pass, in a similar way, through the reform of the State and the construction of a "different" future, from several "fronts: massive investment in education and research, and reform of the State. The outgoing president proposes investing 25.000 million euros in research over the next decade, "with new objectives and new missions, to prepare a future that begins in school." The school system is called to undergo a great reform, negotiated.
In terms of State reform, Macron advanced general ideas: "reduce bureaucracy", "decentralize" and "transfer many responsibilities to regional and departmental authorities".
The essential chapter of the 'Macronian' State reform rested on these budget proposals: the 50.000 million annual reversals, during a five-year period, and the 15.000 million tax reductions, during the next years will be compensated in this way: 20.000 million reduction in the cost of operating the State; 15.000 million for simplification reforms, and 15.000 million destined for the anticipated reform of the national pension system.
