Work must not damage bodies or souls – Anne Hidalgo, socialist presidential candidate
This Sunday, Anne Hidalgo made a point of honor to mark her difference with her right-wing opponents. The socialist candidate developed her program starting with the subject of pensions. “This is one of the great stakes of the election. Opposite, it is the distressing competition of who will set the highest bar. 64, no 65, 67 years old, nothing stops them when it comes to doing to drink to those who already toil all their lives. Well, I’m telling you, president, I will mark the retirement age at 62. It is the oath of Perpignan “, declared Anne Hidalgo on stage to the applause of the audience.
I will never resign myself to the poor being condemned to die before they retire. – Anne Hidalgo, socialist presidential candidate
And to cut the grass from under the feet of his detractors, the mayor of Paris has specified the main lines to finance this proposal. “And to financially consolidate our retirement plans, I will invite them to find the resources elsewhere […] in the general increase in wages, and in a relentless fight against fraud and tax optimization of which our social systems are also victims “.
The socialist candidate has also returned to the purchasing power of the French. “My five-year term will begin with clear and clear measures: the increase in salaries, starting with _a 15% increase in the minimum wage_, as Spain has just entered with Pedro Sanchez. “
We cannot allow the Mediterranean and the English Channel to turn into cemeteries
Touched by the latest tragedies in the Channel, Anne Hidalgo made a campaign pledge concerning the situation of migrants. “As soon as I am elected, I will initiate a discussion with a view to a balanced distribution of migrants between the different countries, and in particular with the group of volunteer countries. In France, _the issuance of residence permits must be humanized_, improved, simplified, accelerated. To achieve the best integration, we must improve the reception of foreigners, while controlling migratory flows by offering all the guarantees of rights and dignity. Better welcome, better integration, better renewal, these are our three objectives. “
As we know, insecurity is also one of the concerns of the French. A theme very popular with opponents of the socialist candidate, who made a point of not addressing this subject from the start of the meeting. One way to hide the difference. “We cannot tolerate the continued rise in attacks on people, nor the controlled cutting of entire neighborhoods by the drug mafias. _strengthen the police force and resources_, it is necessary to increase the number of judges and clerks so that justice can finally pass within acceptable deadlines and put in relation the offense and the sanction. “
Anne Hidalgo reiterated her wish to increase teachers’ salaries. And on the education side, this is not the only proposition. “The school, the college, the high school like the university, will be again the crucible of our Republic. The disastrous policy of the last years has worsened the inequalities within the school. The universities are pitted against each other, creating poles of excellence against under-endowed poles, all arbitrated by the algorithms of coursup that I will delete. “
