Thursday June 20, the political leaders of the main parties rolled out their economic project at the MEDEF. This was the first public appearance of LR boss, Éric Ciotti, with RN president, Jordan Bardella.
The bosses prefer discretion but the arrival of Jordan Bardella and Eric Ciotti is a small media event. Thursday, May 20, in Paris, the two men appeared side by side for the first time during a major oral presentation in front of employers. The objective is to seduce bosses worried by the economic program of the far right. Everyone plays their role in front of the bosses. Jordan Bardella plays it safe, while Éric Ciotti gives assurances to the bosses. If the first speaks of “bankruptcy” of France, the other claims to believe in “economic freedom”.
The RN’s changes of foot, particularly on the repeal of the pension reform, displease many bosses. “These are programs that are completely unbalanced from a budgetary perspective”, deplores a company president. The left’s program is also under scrutiny. The socialist Boris Vallaud asks in particular for bosses to show solidarity. Unsurprisingly, Édouard Philippe wants to strengthen the government’s pro-business logic. As for Bruno Le Maire, he allows himself a warning regarding other parties. Crucial hearings ten days before the first round of the legislative elections, while the MEDEF displays its skepticism in the face of the extreme program.
