Marine Le Pen, 53, is the guest of Franceinfo’s “Presidential Matins”, Monday, November 15, from 7 am to 9 am. A new meeting in which the candidates for the Elysee will detail their program in turn against Marc Fauvelle, Salhia Brakhlia and the editorial experts. Two hours face-to-face and with questions from listeners to take the time to understand, detail and question his presidential project.
A rival named Zemmour. For Marine Le Pen, the challenge is no longer to aim for a victory in the second round but to qualify in the second round, according to some of the latest polls of voting intentions in the first round. A rival has appeared in the person of Eric Zemmour, who has still not declared himself a candidate but who is increasingly in the campaign, and who according to surveys is on the heels of or even exceeds the candidate of the National Rally in the intentions of the first round , behind Emmanuel Macron. According to an Ipsos-Sopra Steria survey for franceinfo and The Parisian-Today in France in October, Eric Zemmour is the greatest threat for Marine Le Pen: he is credited with 15% of the voting intentions against 16 to 17% for Marine Le Pen who comes second in the voting intentions after Emmanuel Macron. If Eric Zemmour is not a candidate, she collects 25% of the voting intentions.
180 degree turns. Engaged in a campaign to demonize her party for two decades, Marine Le Pen has polished the speech of the RN and has taken 180-degree turns on certain subjects, in particular between her 2017 campaign and today: the temptation of Frexit is over. , of exits from the euro and the Schengen area, she speaks rather of a “Europe which prefers Europeans”.
Marine Le Pen is now in the footsteps of General de Gaulle, until going to Bayeux (Calvados) to pay tribute to his memory, on November 9, 2021, while a large part of the political class flocked to Colombey-les -Two-Churches (Haute-Marne). For Marine Le Pen, it is a clear break with the history of the National Front, born out of a virulent anti-Gaullism and which became the National Rally in 2018.
Immigration and purchasing power. Marine Le Pen has planned to make 22 proposals for the presidential election, during thematic trips. These proposals will then be put together in a booklet in December. For now, his campaign follows two main axes: immigration and purchasing power. With two posters and two new slogans: “Returning the French their country” and “Returning the French their money”. Among its priorities, a referendum to include in the Constitution the “mastery” of immigration, the superiority of French law over international law to recast “all of the law applicable to foreigners”, “the removal of foreigners convicted of serious crimes or offenses or those which violate public order” and “the prohibition of all communitarianism”.
On purchasing power, Marine Le Pen wants “return 200 euros per month” to the French. And it multiplies the proposals: lowering the VAT to 5.5% on fuels and energy, abolishing the license fee by privatizing the public audiovisual sector, lowering the price of tolls by nationalizing the highways, giving a full tax share to families with a second child, and remit the half tax share for widowers and widowers. She promises not to raise taxes and also wants to encourage companies to “increase wages up to twice the minimum wage”.
