The Front National Front unveiled today, Saturday the presidential program of Marine Le Pen, based on the foundations of the party of extreme right on immigration or compared to Europe, while wanting to be credible and enforceable in victory in May. “A realistic project” , supported the coordinator of this project, the technocrat Jean Messiha, in the gallery of “presidential foundation” meeting in Lyon by the FN to mark the official start of the National Front presidential campaign.
Renegotiation of EU treaties, currency …
At the head of the 144 proposals include the renegotiation of EU treaties that would, if the FN accession to power, the object of negotiations leading to a referendum on the membership of France to the European Union. The program does not clearly mention the end of the euro as the single currency, yet in the heart of the speech of Marine Le Pen’s party, but simply a return to the “monetary sovereignty” and the creation of a “national currency” .
The 24-page booklet includes other measures already developed in 2012 as the abrogation of the right soil, the promise of recruitments in the police and the gendarmerie, a drastic reduction of immigration, the abolition of medical State aid allocated to undocumented foreigners.
“National Priority registrant” in the Constitution
There is also talk of “economic patriotism” and “intelligent protectionism” . And, as in 2012, Marine Le Pen proposes to introduce a “national priority” of reserving the benefits, such as employment, housing or education, only to French nationals. The right-wing candidate also plans to create an “additional tax on hiring foreign employees”, without giving time for the details on the amounts thus collected.
This principle, that the FN baptizing earlier “national preference” would be included in the Constitution along with the decrease in the number of parliamentary or elimination of regional councils, provided that the revision is approved by referendum. “The goal of this project is to first make his liberty to France and speak to the people” , wrote Le Pen in the preamble of its programmatic booklet making there echoed his campaign slogan, “On behalf of the people “.
Some measures of the 2012 program have disappeared
Other proposals of 2012, which helped to fuel the image of a extreme party, have instead gone, starting with the promise of a referendum on the restoration of the death penalty, which has been replaced with the will to establish a life sentence without parole. The FN 2017 mean, according to the conquest of power tactics designed by Marine Le Pen since its takeover of the party itself as a responsible and capable of forming a government for the presidential election in the month of May.
Where are the numbers?
In its current version, the FN project however has few figures, particularly regarding the financial framework. Only four pages – against double in 2012 – devoted to it.
In 2012, Marine Le Pen held a press conference two hours watering journalists numbers and longer technical demonstrations, in order to lend credibility to the project. An eight-page document tables with detailed budget items had been disclosed in stride.
This year it will take. David Rachline however said to our colleagues at the Express that “a specific document encryption will follow” .
All polls agree the president of the party in first place in the first round of presidential elections, with about a quarter of the vote, but also give her to be systematically beaten in the second round, whatever her opponent.
Candidates must say Sunday her first campaign speech in closing the “foundation” of Lyon.
