“The reality of Marine Le Pen’s program is inefficiency, incompetence and injustice”, estimated this Thursday on franceinfo Bruno Le Maire, Minister of the Economy and support for candidate Emmanuel Macron in the presidential election. He described what he thought would be “life in France under Marine Le Pen”the candidate of the National Rally: “It would be more divisions between the French, more quarrels, more tensions, less solidarity, less unity of the French nation”.
“It would be a France with less sovereignty since today we would be allies of Vladimir Putin, against the camp of Volodymyr Zelensky for whom, she said herself, she does not have much admiration.”

The Minister of the Economy refers to comments made by the RN candidate on March 21 on franceinfo. According to his scenario, “we would all be vaccinated here at Sputnik”the Russian vaccine against Covid-19.
“It would be less protection against inflation and more taxes”continued Bruno Le Maire, who thus denounced the proposals of Marine Le Pen “which look great but don’t hold up on closer inspection”. For him, “lower VAT” to combat rising energy prices “would be less protective” than the 4% electricity cap put in place by the government.

He also pointed “lavish spending” linked to Marine Le Pen’s proposal to nationalize the motorways, i.e. “40 or 50 billion euros thrown out the window” which, according to Bruno Le Maire, will have to be compensated by tax increases. “It would be less industrial production”he added, denouncing Marine Le Pen’s proposal to “restore a tax on capital, a tax on financial wealth”which in his view would weigh on SMEs and industry.
Bruno Le Maire called “each”when going to vote “to realize the importance of this election”her “gravity” while, in the polls, the gap between its candidate, Emmanuel Macron, and Marine Le Pen has narrowed more and more in recent days. He called on voters to “understand that the one who has shown the most determination, the most know-how and obtained the best results on employment, the attractiveness of France, on reindustrialisation, is Emmanuel Macron”.
