the candidates’ proposals on food shopping

This week, the 13 Hours scrutinizes the candidates’ proposals on purchasing power. Wednesday, April 6, he stops on the measures concerning food shopping. Especially since with the surge in raw materials, this is one of the main questions of the French. To answer this, Jean-Luc Mélenchon (LFI) proposes to block the prices for five seasonal fruits and vegetables. Moreover, he wants distributors to reduce their margins.

For his part, Nicolas Dupont-Aignan (Debout la France) offers 0% VAT for basic necessities. This is also the proposal of Marine Le Pen (RN), but on a larger basket of one hundred food and hygiene products. For Valérie Pécresse, this must go through better control of the margins of large retailers. For his part, Emmanuel Macron offers a food check. The objective is to strengthen short circuits. This is what Jean Lassalle also wants (Let’s resist!) by creating a peasant ticket, like a restaurant ticket. For Fabien Roussel (PCF), eating well means having access to a school canteen for the symbolic price of one euro. Anne Hidalgo (PS), meanwhile, also wants to end food insecurity
