StupidLoveBis 1,363 Posted July 8, 2024 Share Posted July 8, 2024 Relieved at the defeat of the facists, but in reality, they double their scores from one election to the next... The NFP has no majority, so 80% of their program will never be implemented (minimum wage, Palestine, ecology). It's a victory for Macron. Even without a majority, he'll be able to find allies in the center-left and right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To sum up the key policies : Spending power - Increase the minimum wage to 1600€ (currently 1400) - Indexation of salaries to the cost of living - Block prices on staple products Taxation - Make the income tax more progressive and tax more the last part (people under 4000€/month [92% of the population] will pay less or same tax as before, people over 4000€ will pay a bit more, 1% of the wealthiest will pay A LOT more) - Will bring back the Wealth tax and will add a taxation about pollution (probably yatch etc) - Remove flat tax -Rework the inheritance tax and have a "maximum inheritance" Employment - basically undo everything Macron has done recently, cancel the retirement age from 62 to 64 and will work to bring it back to 60 Public services - Hire in education, health and justice - Bring back classes to 19 students - Work to make school completely free (transportation, food, equipments, books, etc) Diplomacy - A complete shift and a less "pro-war" agenda - Recognize Palestine as a country Ecology - LOTS of investments - Industrialization of the country to support these goals. Democracy - Work to completely change our current constitution (create the 6th constitution) in order to give more power to the parliament, more direct democracy and less power to the President And many more... Most of the program income is based on a keynesian reflation Obviously this program will be hard to follow because the Nouveau Front Populaire doesn't have enough seats to lead the country alone, so we'll see. If you're fluent in French or use a translator, it's actually quite short to read (26 pages), with chapters about what can be done the first 15 days, 100 days, and what other topic they can tackle later https://lafranceinsoumise.fr/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/PROGRAMME-FRONT-POPULAIRE.pdf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloc that was threatening to win after the first round of voting. But now they're third. The current government is considered "centrist", and they came in second.

This is a lot of new spending when France already has a deficit. Lowering the retirement age to 60 in particular would be costly especially now as population ages Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
monketsharona 90,117 Posted July 8, 2024 Share Posted July 8, 2024 No shade but RN (Marine Le Pen) will be easily elected president if she's doing the same numbers in 2027 at president election. Her political party was easily leading in votes (with no strong union with any other party). The votes union between parties (as they've done on this legislative election) is just not possible on a presidential election. And her party is growing every election. Soooo maybe time for other parties to get their **** together and doing something good this time Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
