pensions, VAT, land rights… Jordan Bardella details his program and calls for an “absolute majority”

Jordan Bardella calls for “an absolute majority” in the National Assembly “to govern”. In an interview given to Parisian Monday June 17, the president of the National Rally believes that “person” can’t believe “that we will be able to change the daily lives of the French with a relative majority”. The president of the National Rally also outlines the main measures implemented in the event of accession to power, in particular the repeal of the pension reform “from autumn”. He had until then been vague, judging again last week that the subject was not “priority”.

Regarding the reduction in VAT on energy and fuel, which he intends to drop from 20% to 5.5%, the boss of the RN intends to implement it this summer, via a finance bill correction during an extraordinary parliamentary session. The latter could, however, only be held after a decree signed by the President of the Republic. The leader of the Lepenists, on the other hand, refers the abolition of VAT on basic necessities to “a second time”.

On the revenue side, the winner of the European elections of June 9 proposes to eliminate “tax niches”, notably those on shipowners, and to reduce France’s contribution to the European Union budget by 2 billion euros. Jordan Bardella also intends to resurrect the minimum penalties for drugs and attacks on persons holding public authority.

He reiterates his proposal to suspend family allowances for parents of repeat juvenile delinquents. The abolition of land law and the replacement of state medical aid with an emergency fund which “will only cover vital emergencies” are also on the program.
