Presidential: “ready” to debate, “as much as necessary” with the other LR candidates
“I’m going to this convention to win it“, stressed this Wednesday on franceinfo Valérie Pécresse, president of the Ile-de-France region and candidate for the LR nomination in the presidential election. Members will have to choose on December 4 between 5 LR candidates: Valérie Pécresse, Michel Barnier, Eric Ciotti, Xavier Bertrand and Philippe Juvin.
The current president of the Ile-de-France region said “ready” to be debated “as much as it takes“with the other LR candidates,”not so that we clash, but so that the French see a real right-wing France team with figures that will make them want. Denis Payre is a great business leader, Philippe Juvin, a great doctor, Eric Ciotti is very powerful on regal ideas, Xavier Bertrand, me, Michel Barnier, it still creates a professional government in the face of this government of amateurs, in the face of to a government that shows a record of make believe“she said.
Fuel prices: “A check for the most disadvantaged is the only solution for the State”
“If the State wants to make a gesture on purchasing power, the only solution it has is to write a check [carburant] for the most disadvantaged“, assured Valérie Pécresse, while the government has promised”by the end of the week“a device”simple, fair and efficient“in response to rising fuel prices.
This check, “it should probably be done temporarily“to help the less fortunate French, she added. For Valérie Pécresse,”a general reduction in taxes “on gasoline is not a good solution because” if ever the prices fall, we will never get it back and it will be a huge cost for a few cents less per liter“.
If the government sets up a fuel check, “there will be a threshold effect, i.e. you will always have the same ones, the middle class, those who get up early, those who work, who will not be affected“regretted Valérie Pécresse, hence her proposal to”increase wages by 10% and make work pay“.
Valérie Pécresse wants to cut “nearly 200,000 jobs” in the administration
“I will denorm, I will debureaucratize, I will delete procedures“, declared Valérie Pécresse on franceinfo, while she was questioned on her proposal to delete”nearly 200,000 positions in a number of administrative functions“, if she gets to the Élysée.”How it works? We stop duplicates“, launched the candidate for the nomination of LR for the presidential election.
“Today, the State, regions, departments and municipalities do everything at the same time, with services that compete with each other“, estimated Valérie Pécresse.”If you typically take business aid today, the state provides exactly the same aid as the regions“, she continued.”I will do an act 3 of decentralization with skill blocks“, she promised, adding that”the State will compensate part of the additional costs“for communities which will inherit certain skills,”but will remove the structures that are duplicated and therefore recover the money on the structure costs“.
