In the aftermath of the debate between two rounds between Emmanuel Macron and Marine Le Pen, the supporters of the presidential finalists continue to defend step by step the programs of their respective candidates, in an attempt to convince voters. To help you make up your mind, France Bleu Limousin extended the debate this Thursday morning with Beaudouin-Hubière, La République en Marche deputy from Haute-Vienne and Albin Freychet, delegate from the National Rally in Haute-Vienne. Project against projectthey delivered the solutions of their camp for purchasing power, pensions, medical deserts, or even support for rurality. On France Bleu Limousin
Purchasing power and pensions
For Albin Freychet, support of Marine Le Pen, the RN candidate is “ready to govern France by proposing concrete solutions”in particular on purchasing power, which she has made the main focus of her campaign and which she will “one of his priorities for his five-year term” if elected. The representative of the RN in Haute-Vienne specifies that he “VAT must be lowered from 20 to 5.5 on energy prices, which will make it possible to make significant savings for the household budget. On food, VAT must be reduced to 0.” He also mentions the income tax exemption for those under 30 and the indexing of pensions to inflation.
For her part, Sophie Beaudouin-Hubière insists on the measures already put in place by the outgoing president: tariff shield for energy prices, agricultural retirement at minimum 85 of the minimum wage and, if Emmanuel Macron is renewed, the promise of a minimum pension of 1,100 euros. After the energy check, the LREM deputy for Haute-Vienne specifies that a food check could also see the light of day on the same model. She also accuses the National Rally of making “clientelism” with a project that is not seriously funded, while Albin Freychet accuses the outgoing president of “taking money from the pockets of the French and giving it back with another hand.”
Regarding pensions, the spokesperson for Marine Le Pen in Upper Vienne defends a departure at 60 for those who started before the age of 20 and a departure at 62 for the others. “I find that retirement at 65 is a real social injustice” insists Albin Freychet. According to him, pushing back the retirement age also generates “less jobs for young people.”
For her part, Sophie Beaudouin-Hubière justifies Emmanuel Macron’s project by a later age to obtain a stable job. “Today, it is beyond 25 years. So, if you leave at 60 or 62, that means that mechanically, what you are proposing is to leave with pensions which are not pensions at full rate and therefore with discounted pensions.” Working longer is also a question of redistribution for the LREM deputy, in order to finance the care of the dependency of the elderly.
How to fight against medical deserts?
Among the themes addressed by the two opponents, there are also the medical deserts, which plague the Limousin. Here again, the representatives of each candidate each have their solutions. For the support of Marine Le Pen, we must “Create free zones in rural areas, because we don’t have the same level of public service, whether we work in rural areas as in the city.” Albin Freychet also defends payment for consultations based on location. It would be higher in areas where there are few doctors. Finally, he pleads for more resources for nursing homes and for “Create much more local hospitals, close to people who can take care of small operations.”
For La République en Marche, medical deserts do not only concern rural areas but also territories such as Limoges and Brive. To remedy this, the numerus clausus has been abolished, in order to train more doctors, but that will take time. Sophit Beaudouin-Hubière insists on the importance of the multidisciplinary health communities that are being set up. Another track: “We will have to bet on telemedicine, which is developing. In particular with the Saint-Léonard-de-Noblat hospital, things are happening in teleconsultation, in particular in connection with the EPHADs which revolve around this hospital center. “
