The reserve period, preceding the European elections, which has been imposed on the government since Monday May 27, does not prevent ministers from campaigning with their activist hats. Like the minister delegate in charge of Business, Tourism and Consumption, Olivia Grégoire, who wants to try to dissuade small bosses, tempted by the RN bulletin, from voting for Jordan Bardella on June 9. For months, Olivia Grégoire has been going through the program, the media interventions and the votes of the National Rally, all compiled in a five-page document called “Booklet against the economic imposture of the RN“. This booklet served as the basis for a leaflet for Valérie Hayer’s campaign aimed specifically at traders, artisans and small businesses.
Olivia Grégoire pulls no punches in her booklet and lists the reasons why “the RN vote is bad for your business“. Jumbled together, she points out that the RN says it wants”restore the taste for work“, while he voted against the conditioning of the RSA to 15 hours of activity, is opposed to the reform of unemployment insurance and the regularization of undocumented immigrants who work in sectors in tension. She underlines that in Paris the RN “denounces competition from European workers, cheaper than the French“, while in Brussels, “he abstains on the European minimum wage“. The minister still criticizes Jordan Bardella for wanting “control company margins” and to brandish the blunt argument: “LFI and RN, same vote, same fight“.
The Macronists are generally worried to see the progression of the RN in all segments of the population and do not underestimate the seduction operation begun in recent months by Jordan Bardella among small bosses, who are torn between the commercial opportunities represented by Europe and fed up with standards. Olivia Grégoire therefore organized a debate on Thursday May 23 with around a hundred entrepreneurs, who challenged her a lot on energy bills, Chinese competition and standards. The minister plans to repeat the experience next week, and also distribute leaflets to traders. “We are losing the world of workalarms one of his government colleagues, because those who work have the impression of having the wool sheared on their backs“.
