The three leading political alliances standing in the upcoming french elections all have very different visions for France, so in this video we’re going to explain the plans proposed by each alliance, going through them in order of their polling position.

Putting everything else aside I’m just impressed that a stable leftist faction managed to form without spontaneously decaying into its components
I mean it's been 12 days so far
it's because they did it 2 years ago. so the bases were there in term of program, all they needed was another occasion to unite.
the threat of the far right coming to power is stronger than ever, so having a common enemy can be pretty unifying
That always hapens in every country when they shout "far right is coming" but later they indeed decay.
They will immediately disband and start fighting each other again day one after the election.
It's important to note that polls shown in the video are not representative of potential results. French legislative elections are held in 2 turns with a uninominal majority ballot (as opposed to modt of european parliaments using proportional vote), and some second turn elections can have more than 2 candidates running, the one with the biggest score wining the local election.
This means that each local election can have completely different outcomes.
The National Assembly can next month have a absolute majority (289 PR to do so) or just be completely blocked. Each local election brings new odds, which is what makes this election very difficult to predict.
France has the right idea that Europe needs to buy European. 80% of Europe's defense spending flows to the US, Europe is subsidizing US defense companies. Europe also needs to develop its own tech industry and reject US tech colonisalism. But France also needs to not try to put their companies first in this whole narrative, Europe's competitors are the US and China, not other EU countries.
nope. 😊
@@Maplelustdayum that's next level arguing
if you are basing this off the Reuters article from this year, you were close but slightly incorrect - 80% of defence spending from EU countries goes to non EU countries, 60% goes to the US. I still agree with your overall point though
Problem is, we Europeans don't have a candle compared to US gear particularly in the air...
@@looseycanonWhat about the Eurofighter??
Privatizing the public broadcaster? That ain't gonna end well.
Gift for their far right friend Bolloré ?? He already owns several channels including one news channel which is basically far right propaganda
It was already ongoing but they just want to give it to Bolloré
they love that idea because billionaires and capital are always putting their max effort in defending the far right and smashing the left.
The public broadcaster is great but to political; it is more and more about bashing the right wing parties. Some people are getting upset to see their taxes used pay some journalist or comics, who's job is basiczly to insult their views.
@@cd1542exactly, they have a left leaning bias that does not fit with france s current political life
This dude has come so far from 3 years ago his voice is so fuckin clear and annunciated (the tldr guy not the people the video is talking about)
The wealth tax is probably the only plan a party has to pay for all their extraordinary amounts of spending
It won't work
And it won't even scrape the surface of the debt.
@julianothoms5391 meanwhile the others promise to keep spending, without any plan at all.
Just saying that it at least is a plan
@@jorenbaplu5100 You have no idea what you are talking about. The exact reason Europe is in the situation we are in is because we enacted all these social policies after WW2 when we had a baby boom - that's not the case today and we can't afford it. More importantly, it's very easy to give people new rights but it's nearly impossible to take them back. It's very easy to play Robinhood and increase spending without increasing revenue (Taxing the wealthy is not making France richer, quite the opposite..)
@maurokjr984 I do know that the other parties will keep spending more money without any plan to fill that hole (according to their own party programs)
4:00 NFP proposes to raise the minimum wage to 1600€ not 2000€
It's 2000€ without tax
2000 brut
They're not taxes but differed payment as these contributions ensure paid leave, social security, pensions etc... not the same idea as they have a clear destination and are not debated when the government proposes a budget

Nice thumbnail
Who are against?
Yeah, it does look good
Have to agree, definitely a nice one. The striking colors make it pop out while remaining tasteful
I mean, who French vote in is the French business, but I seriously hope they don't throw the rest of the continent under the bus and try to be friends with Kremlin. It never ends good
I suppose you would want the French to sell their country to the communists and the Islamists 👍
Meloni came around with her euro scepticism and pro-russia stuff after being elected so I’m guess it will probably the same case here, you need to be more moderate once in office. Hopefully anyways.
Friends no, diplomacy yes. The policy of pushing nato further and further east and threatening to put Ukraine into Nato was clearly bad diplomacy.
@@jhunt5578 There was no "pushing" NATO further east. The countries asked to join. Heck, Poland even blackmailed Clinton to be allowed into NATO.
Also, there was no "threat" either. In 2014, France and Germany refused to accept Ukraine into NATO because of russian "security concerns". In the next few months, there were Russian boots on Ukrainian ground. I'd argue that had NATO accepted Ukraine, Russia wouldn't have dared attack it and we would be at peace right now. The threat came from Russia, and the West tried to be too conciliatory, which Russia saw as weakness and as an opportunity to invade.
All in all, bowing to Putin was bad diplomacy.
@jhunt5578 not really. NATO didn't give a crap about ukraine until recently. The Euromaidan scared the Russians because they were about to lose their sphere of influence, then the little green men came and rest is history.
Proportional representation and a citizens referendum is supported by both the right and left? Could those actually be accomplished?
no, because none of them will vote for the other's proposition. Even if they want it too.
@@Bb13190 I don't see why
When Macron proposed a law to restrict immigration a few months ago RN voted in favour and when it passed they called it an ideological victory.
If both left and right want one thing I believe that regardless who has the majority in the assembly the other side will vote in favour too, then using it also as a way to make propaganda for themselves
@casteddu6740 it is not the same. Here we were talking about left and right, not right with center-right.
And the immigration law was a political move by the RN. In the morning Bardella said they will not vote for it because it was too soft, and in the afternoon (same law) Le Pen said they will vote for it because it is the right direction. But the main goal was to embarrass the presidential camp by endorsing their law, and they succeeded.
@@Bb13190 still I don't see why voting against something you want too just because your opponent is the one proposing it
I mean, maybe there could be details proposed by one side that the other ones doesn't want, but the default idea is shared so voting againt might actually put them in a bad light with their electorate
I'm not saying you're wrong, politics can be like that, but I wouldn't take it for granted
@@casteddu6740 I agree with you that it doesn't make sense. And maybe they will change, but our political class (I am French) is truly terrible in that regards (and many other).
And the electorate doesn't know and doesn't care who vote for what in the parlement, so they don't really have an incentive to change.

You know politics. It does tend to rile people up. But yeah it is worse than normal.
The tno one was funny I guess
They are mistakes in this video, you probably confuse the LFI program et the NFP program which is definitely not the same thing (even if LFI is in the NFP)
What should we do?
We're peprearing for Civil War?
Over La Pen's Dictatorial Power?
No he didn't go read the manifesto of the New popular front, there his a reaseon why both the right and the center call this alliance "the devil pact" all the soft left party submitted to the extremes
Well it’s legit as the NFP program is almost a copy paste of LFI’s
@@lalasmithix pfff that's so grotesque
what are these mistakes exactly?
That bit about proportional representation looked promising. But the real plans aim for only a fraction of seats that are allocated this way. So France's electoral system would stay quite flawed and skewed. Suboptimal in terms of pure democracy.
Pure proportionality is a bad electoral system for larger countries with a heterogeneous population distribution. Not only does it reduce communication between individual legislators and members of the public, but it also incentivises party politics (which is a massive flaw of modern democracy) and focus on large urban areas.
@@lennard9331 interesting point of view. So a country basically can be too big to function properly? How about Germany? They have proportional representation as well and the country is even bigger. Isn't it all about the right balance? Size shouldn't matter if we are talking about proportionality.
5:36 what is your source for this quote?
it's 1600 euros a month for the minimum wage not 2000 !
proportional represention would be a good thing tho!
A few things:
- Using Melenchon in the thumbnail to represent the New Popular Front is misleading. Unlike with the NUPES, Melenchon is not the NFP's leader, and is very unlikely to be. He's a hugely repulsive figure for the left to the general population unfortunately, only the mainstream media try to depict him as the NFP leader to decredibilise the alliance.
-I haven't seen the NFP credited of 35% anywhere yet, I think you got the number confused with that of the National Rally
-Raising the minimum wage to 2000€ a month? Is that before taxes? Because the number they provide in their manifesto is 1600€ after taxes.
-Careful when talking of 'far-left' parties. France unbowed/LFI, just like the Communist Party, are not considered 'far-left', as per decision of the Conseil d'Etat. I will concede that the NPA and its figurehead Philippe Poutou, who is a candidate for the NFP, are indeed considered 'far-left'
-It might have been worth mentioning each party's take on environment and climate issues.
The NFP's tactic to only talk about 1600$ net is to make it seem like it's not outlandish. But when we talk about salary in economics or politics it's always in its brute form because that way you also have the weight it has on firms. But what they don't tell you is that this raise of the SMIC is a trap, it will raise the floor of french buying power, which means all prices will go up accorldingly because "everyone can afford them now". Inflation will shoot through the roof, and they also never talk about salaries that were above the SMIC before that will now become SMIC, the simcardisation of the country will lower all those people's living standards.
@@sqoualalaobikord9690 A lot of things you're saying here have been debunked by economists. Raising the minimum wage rarely and barely impacts inflation, because raising people's purchasing power will essentially make the economy flourish and, inflation already being high, prices will stabilise. Obv there's a lot of factors at play, I advise you check La France Insoumise's "desintox" of their program on their website, see what Michael Zemmour or Thomas Piketty have to say about it. Also, salaries already above the minimum wage will go up with indexation of wages. What you describe is what has already been happening for years: minimum wage going up while other salaries stagnate
May I ask why people find Melenchon repulsive? He just looks like a silly old man from the outside but I’m guessing this dude has been around in the political scene a long time and is probably known for something else in France
@@democracydignityhumanrights There's been a fierce anti-Mélenchon media campaign on issues such as the unclear position of France Unbound on Hamas, alleged antisemitism on pro-Palestinian positions, supporting riots/revolts about police violence, and his party's agressive rethoric in the national assembly (these are just the more recent exemples). Overall, he has been the main radical left leader for more than 10 year and his radical positions have always been held against him. He has himself been clean in his 50+ years political carrier (to my knowledge), but he supported a guy in the party who commited domestic abuse.
@@pandasan4374 sounds like the guy I would probably vote for 😂 that’s about what I thought but I figured I might be missing something, I hadn’t heard about the supporting a guy who had done domestic abuse though. And of course I don’t agree with him about getting out of nuclear power.
How does he and his party compare to the PCF? I’m a member of CPUSA.
Hi, I'm really interested in the new publication you advertise at the start of the video, but can't see a link for it in the video description. Am I missing something? Thanks
As is usual, less contested land value taxes are once again sidelined in a push for significant tax reform.
Building 8 nuclear records is worth voting for. Le Pen can’t reindustrialise if there is no excess energy
She would be able to reindustrialised if the president before Macron had built nuclear reactors
Le Pen is also in favor of nuclear energy. We can assume the RN would continue the current plan. However they want to ban wind and solar energy which is utterly stupid.
@@aesma2522 RN is not green, nuclear is highly efficient and has proven to be the best solution for cheap energy, how much would you need to provide the same amount of electricity that a nuclear plant does? Not worth it
Tbf all three factions are pro nuclear or have political parties within their coalitions that are pro Nuclear
He already promised that since 2017 and nothing concrete came of it for the last 7 years. The only thing that has been announced is an examination on building new reactors by the energy regulators and nothing more.
Macron's entire new program is recycling what he already promised, hoping people don't remember that they already said that.
Save us it’s a shitshow over here
How can the 2 biggest options be so bad??
@@joaquimbarbosa896well the moderate right and left were all overshadowed and partially absorbed by Macron, so only the extremes grew... Problem is that once Macron became popular the only perceived alternatives were the far right and far left
@@joaquimbarbosa896 I like how many countries this question applies to right now
@@Descriptor413 But this is a special kind of bad. This aplies to Portugal for exemple, our 2 biggest parties are sh1t. But at the very least they don't want to outright destroy the country
Politics will evolve in time. here in the US the republican party, now the party of reactionary nationalist and racists, was first formed as a brave progressive party that fought to end slavery of the black population. What I am saying is that things change, a party can evolve into its opposite, it's our job to stay the same and keep our values and not be let slowly by narratives.
I am not a fan of Macron , but ignoring the fact that France can't keep that pension age with a shrinking population - it's pure populism.
The population is not decreasing, in fact we are the only ones in Europe to have a demographic with a positive balance and a child rate per couple of 1.6 which allows us to stay on demographic track.
@@tomboura8951
My country is wealthier than France, (just a bit higher life expectancy) and has the highest fertility rate in the OECD BY FAR. Mandatory retirement age is up to 67 until 2037. And still the pension will struggle in the future.
Very interesting
Left party proposal: give money to everybody.
No.
Liberal party : lets give money to capitalist. Does it works ? No.
So lets go into a keynesian economy
and repeat 1000 times "We stand with Palestine!"
Auditing of the state accounts is always good. There shouldn't be a universal pension age across all professions. My mom works in the tax office in my country and requested additional years. Many physical labourers cannot work until the official pension age
Cc
The thing is that there is already an audit of the State finance. It was done by the Cour des Comptes.
It's already done very often.
Bardella says they need to audit to throw a smokescreen.
100% this law will never happen
Then that's just a problem of the State not offering enough office work for people who are becoming more physically vulnerable but still below the pension age.
In France the problem is especially bigger with regards to this as it is difficult to move between jobs as you age.
Not sure, if I can agree... The problem with audits is, that the politician then gets to spin it. They either cherry pick or twist the numbers, instead of just plain reporting it's findings and making holistic changes based on expert advice and said audit... If an audit is going to be used as politicians typically do, then it's a waste of money and a PR firm would have been cheaper. As to your comment about physical laborers... well, that is their problem. The market has changed drastically and we have to adapt, or be swept away. The guaranties and assurances of our parents and grandparents are gone, either by them not being sustainable (retirement) or being just abandoned, because it saves money (employer loyalty was killed by employers years ago), so thinking, you will only do one job in life is foolhardy these days. Even if the reason for leaving a job is health, a worker has to prepare for it and be ready to pivot into another field, as hard as it is.
Good stuff, thanks. I dont trust either the far right or left alliance, on being dependable or spending, but to be fair, we really do need to move towards proportional representation and governance by referendum in order to make sure popular and consensus initiatives pass more often and and in a more timely manner.

I have no idea too but macron like to invite 100 people from different background to make debates about some subject to get an understanding of the population, then he does nothing about what they said :)
thumbnail is actually heaps good ngl. yous need to use more colours often, ditch using the blue rectangle on the side and make them more vibrant
Why put Mélenchon on the cover picture? He doesn't represent the Front Populaire, many on the left are fed up with him and his controversial statements on antisemitism and foreign politics.
no such thing as antisemitism, those are actually just anti-zionism.
@@byunbaekhyun2283he is antisemite
@@byunbaekhyun2283 I didn't say they were antisemitic, I mentioned controversial statements. For example Mélenchon said that antisemitism was residual, and absent from popular gatherings.

Get tf away from the left and go to a Macron rally you glorified centrist. There is no anti semetism in pro Palestine protests and NO ONE cares about Ur little accusations when Israhell is commiting a genocide.Also his foreign policy is 10x better than macarons war hawkism that wants war with Russia.We don't wanna ww3 over Ukraine's borders
No wonder Macron's party is trailing.

These ppl are insane... How can they (both left and right) even possibly believe that these ideas can be paid for? France is already running huge deficits and the state debt is 100%+
It’s called taxing the rich son
immigration costs 35 billion a year to France (according to OECD) so the right can save a lot of money by cutting benefits to foreigners/illegals
Through the debt they make africa pay for their freedom
@@St0rrrm that number is completely scroodged and even assuming that it's true, tax evasion equates to more than 1000 billions euros a year.
And how rich people can get even richer while the population keep getting poorer ?
There isn’t a debt “crisis” or in any case that is a contested opinion
I never thought Marine la penn is ever going to be the President.
But I also Knew, the tide of the failures to address key issues of the day by the French Establishment, is going to get so heavy that eventually that will lead to Marion Marachel La Penn.
Things always seem to go really bad before it starts to get good in France.
But the moment of truth seems to have arrived faster than expected. The desire for change has begun in France.
France, Germany, Austria, Italy, Greece, Netherlands, Sweden, Poland, Belarus, Serbia, Ukraine, Belgium and Spain will follow suit.
And May be UK will get sucked in too.
Macron started as a Left then moved to the Centre to win elections and become President, Tried his technocratic Centrist policies and failed, but also realised The Right is actually Right so he kept on moving to the Right, and people saw through it, that they might oppose Marine la penn but her policies and assessment are actually right (mainly about immigration and religion of Peace).
There is nothing Macron can do to save his presidency.
Macron is going to end up in a Think Tank job in New York or Washington or WEF board member or some sort of special envoy to Middle East pretty much like Tony Blair.
Emmanuelle macron is more suitable for that, than being the President of France.
The French people should have never trusted someone who cares more about "His Career, After his Political Life" than about the people who he governs.
Ever since Tony Blair and Barack Obama there has been an epidemic of politicians who care more about thier "political Afterlife" than thier own country. Hence they do what suits thier career and not what suits the larger population. "Hence we get Populism".
Macron still doesn't do a lot of hard work that Marine la penn did. Macron ended up in the position because of spectacular failures of Francois Hollande and Sarkozy who were detached from any sort political reality and cared more about thier mistresses.
I remember John Oliver doing segments fawning over Francois Hollande. After the failure of Hollande, John Oliver never did a segment about how Francois Hollande had an approval rating of 3 percent and had to step away from elections out of embarrassment.
But if you ask any ordinary french people about Francois Hollande they'll tell you he was a terribly unserious president.
Obviously The Academic Left, The Online Left, and The Media left wing will tell you that Francois Hollande was never left wing and did what left always does that is, shed thier skin like a snake, and casually move the goal post and say he's not Left Wing because he's not Left enough.
That's the difference between Elite people' opinion and Ordinary people' opinion.
Macron should have been released from the presidency of France long time ago, so that he can go to work in a think tank in New York or Washington and have sex with Grandmas in Epstein Island (or whatever he likes to do). Emmanuelle macron is more suitable for that, than being the president of France.
There is nothing macron can do to save his presidency.
Ursula von der layen is also going to be "gone" in two years and then end up in a think tank in New York or Washington, which is where she has more in common with, unlike the average voter in Germany, whom she despises, same can be said about Olaf Scholz and Macron. (Tony Blair model)
Its a fucking nightmare..
Legit can't believe that we might have a far right government in like 2 weeks. Insanity at its peak
I mean, if the NFP wins, it could stop this train wreck for at least one year. I'm taking that.
Macron as been a terrible manager, economic wise, his politics are a total failure. Even the lead economist who wrote LREM economic program is saying it was a mistake. Not mentionning the rest of Macron's policies because, it's obviously catastrophic.
@@Yolwooclewhat about the RN program worries you? Relief to the working class, soothing public security concerns, deregulating small businesses. Is it the people themselves? What about them worries you?

NFP has the good idea.
It basically follows economy principle of stimulating demand to increase economy's activity.

It was done with unprecedented generosity during Macron's reign tho: millions and more spent to help business, especially those with an already juicy, overkill wallet. It was supposed to then go to the employees.
Spoiler: it didn't. AT. ALL. So yeah. Spending it easy. It just scares and make rich people cry when they don't get any share of the cake.....or have to share theirs.

@@padriandusk7107 Oh yeah, great fckin idea. You know how everything is crap after we caused tons of inflation after bankrolling everyone? Well why not make it worst?

Yeah, let's crank that debt up to 200% of GDP, it's "just a number" anyway right? Venezuela also thought that is was a great idea to try this idea out.
Of the left I think Fabien Rouselle should be the leader of the coalition. Its very rare to have a pro nuclear hard lefty in politics, so hopefully he can make the Left embrace Nuclear power.
And the communists are not lunatics unlike LFI
It would be weird to select someone from a party that can't get above 3% of the vote.
@@diegoyuiopit's weird to know that the communists are the most sensible of the French left wing
@@napakapa1046The way I see it in the event that they somehow win, they'll need to decide who the prime minister should be and I think it would do the Communists and the overall Left well if it were him.
@mapk1516 Historically, the PCF and LFI have had closer political efforts, but it's hard to tell how the coalition is even going to decide this.
Either way, the pension reform and the unemployment insurace are gone.
Nope Le pen supports them. Average capitalist party
Not really. RN has already backed down on this and want an even harder unemployment law.
And mostly it's very probable their is no governement at all with no one having a majority and willing to form alliance (Bardella already said that he will only be Prime Minister with an absolute majority). And now dissolution is impossible before 8 july 2025... Even a new president will have to deal with this new parliament.
Interesting that Macron is claiming to uphold republican values, while his dog Élisabeth Borne holds the 2nd record for the most uses of article 49.3 (with 3 times the amount of the 3rd place) and keeps strengthening the executive.
In Norway we used to have a party called National Rally (Nasjonal Samling, NS). It came to power in 1940...

Such a low value comment. I can also say we in Estonia had a party called "Communist party" and it came to power also in 1940. Guess what, that party and very close party to them are in the so called "New Popular Front".

French Jews have never had so few choices. Most will vote for Macron's alliance, but other are voting for the RN, which has at least made an effort to distance itself from antisemites rather than embrace them like LFI and the "Popular Front." Something perhaps unthinkable until the last couple years, but now a painful reality. Nobody in their right mind thinks that the LFI believes in any of the parts of the Popular Front's points against Hamas or supporting French Jews, and the plan to embargo Israel especially underscores this despicable compromise. When the RN is removing antisemites, the LFI is embracing Islamists. Anybody who thinks that they could handle the threat of Islamist terrorism is smoking too much grass.
The recent gang-rape of a Jewish 12 y/o girl by two 13 y/os and one 12 y/o boy because of her Judaism is just the lastest disturbing and disgusting sign that something is deeply wrong in France. Something which needs a decisive and immediate solution.
Absolutely agree! It's a shame that France's Left went to lalaland, they'd do well to learn from Denmark's example.
Glücksman dropped the ball. They beat LFI in their European election results! He should have gone for it alone.
What are you actually saying ? When was LFI antisemetic ? Cite me one sentence of any LFI deputy that says otherwise ? One comment that hasn't been debunked or misinterpreted, wether it was on purpose or not ? Do you know that almost all, if not all french private media are owned by far right leaning groups ? That they repeat this false informations to descredit them ? Even when they were proved to be lying, they just change subject each and everytime. Even for these elections, Bolloré's media groups have organized some programs to promote far right, and have even been warned by french's state audiovisual commitee/authority. It's unfortunate that this much fake news has been spread around, wether you fall in line with their political ideas or not

France already has a huge deficit, I see the intention to lower taxes but where is the missing money coming from?
They only increase spending but lower income, even with the taxing of the rich, it will be way less than current earnings
We do get a deficit anyway, so better spend it to rebuild our economy.
Every time the right is in power, they say "dont spend too much" and end up being the one making the more déficit.
The left in France are historically the one who create the less deficit. This argument is nonsense.

Good summary of communism. Oh wait, that was a summary of nfp plans... :/
The private sector deserves to be repressed, it is run by greedy, amoral ghouls who boil our planet dry and get fat on the suffering of West African workers.
They’ve also said they intend to provide financial support for small companies, and that the blocking and subsequent lowering of energy prices will compensate for the rise in minimum wages.
They also hope that the rise in wages will re-inject money in the local economy, making businesses prosper more.
It’s called stimulating demand. And it’s not communism, it’s basic Keynesianism.
I know the National Rally might not be perfect, but the popular front seems to want to turn France into a new Venezuela. No wonder the markets are scared.
Check Les Echos' article named "Législatives 2024 : le ton commence à monter aussi entre les économistes" - NFP's program is backed by professionals, as is Macron's economic policy. No ones backs RN's program.
RN's (and in a lesser extent Macron's) is unreallistic because they promise to lower taxes. And as far as Macron's experiment is going, it doesn't seem to work, and he has to cut back social benifits that keeps people out of poverty (and they keep repeating lies on social fraud and the effect of social benefits on people)
And National Rally's got no program too. They changed their minds again and again on all subjects. Even if we compare it to what they said during European elections.
"Might not be perfect" = ideological bunch of Kremlin-bought racist know-nothings, who spew populistic rhetoric and non-solutions.
And the markets reacted to the possibility of the RN dimwits winning the elections, because of their shitty economical proposals and "foundations" for other policies, as well as how they'd weaken the EU on top of them undermining France.
And this comment is NOT a defense of some of the more populistic and economically nonviable suggestions of the NFP. (Like that lowering of the retirement age is effectively an attempt at actively sabotaging French finances.)
They're all so bad jeez

NFP sounds good on paper, how are they going to balance the budget, it sounds like a certain way to massively increase deficit and inflation. Because it's pretty delusional to really believe that increase wealth tax will be enough to balance the budget.
inflation isn't real
I mean, no one is able to balance the budget right now, it seems. Macron certainly isn't - his government is running a big deficit for the past several years.
In addition, I don't see why a wealth tax wouldn't be able to cover a lot of it. I doubt it will balance the budget completely, but certainly within current limits.
As for inflation, the Euro will probably be fine, and the NFP also plan to introduce strategic price controls to fight inflation (See for example the work of Isabella Weber on the subject).
It's not only wealth tax, it's rebalancing the tax system to become more fair to the middle class. It's also stopping financial aid and tax exemptions to companies that are making superprofits and not complying to social and environmental laws. 2019 Economics Nobel Prize Ester Duflo supported their programme, as well as major economic research and business owners throughout France.
The far-right on the other hand, has a completely unbalanced budget and will drive the country into financila bayss because reducing social expenditure is not a big chunk of money.
@@3DJMV3 I haven't seen Duflo actually saying yep, this plan will work. Probably not wanting to risk her credibility on this. She just agrees on the overall idea of taxing the rich more and giving more money to the poor.
Also her expertise if that of developing countries, where income inequalities are crazy high (like India). In France they are incredibly low, after taxes and benefits. It's disingenuous to treat France like an average country that could benefit from a bit more tax and spend, France is already the king of tax and spend, and if that many people are unhappy, then clearly it's not working.

Le Pen wants to reinstate criminal punishment for drugs? Substance abuse disorder is one of the few mental illnesses that people can still get locked up for in most countries, which demonstrates widespread ignorance of the causes of addiction and a form of systemic oppression called ableism. Imagine locking up someone with an eating disorder with murderers and rapists and expecting them to somehow get better. Portugal is leading the way to sanity with regards to drug policy, treating addiction as a public health issue rather than a criminal issue.

Macron is right about the budget plans of the opposition.
The presidential party has NO legitimacy to talk about financial credibility. Attal and Macron are talking about the straw in the RN's and NFP's eye while ignoring the pillar in their own.
Macron himself however has proven unreliable to not bring the country closer to bankruptcy. At first, he was good at cutting structural spending, but he can't stop dropping tons of money in support plans every time a crisis occurs, so the deficit only went worse through his mandates.
@@merlinbreaud7379 Covid 19 was a bitch, what else do i have to say...

Le Pen's plan for immigration just seems strange, irrational, and petty. Why would anyone want to prevent families from being re-united? why would anyone want to turn away people looking for a place to live? If you know, or you have these opinions, could you please explain? I legitimately can't understand.
It's wise, no more anchor babies. If family wants to re-unite, the migrants can return home and re-unite.
No money to support them. No housing to house them. No work to give them. No hospitals to treat them. Etc. Why aren't all countries opened to unlimited immigration ?
In France, the family reunification allows a foreign national legally living in France to bring his family (spouse, children) to live with him in France under certain legal conditions.
It is regarded today mostly as a succion pump for immigration, granting too easily entry and citizenship to immigrants with almost no conditions.
And the NFP's essentially open-borders policies are normal and rational? You have to be out of your mind to believe this. The French want less immigration, not an essentially Islamo-Marxist party governing them
Because many of those immigrants are poor and have very large families, which then translates to large state benefits. This also creates a huge pressure on public services and housing. Many of these kids grow up in poverty and in ghettos which leads to many of them involving themselves with gangs and crimes. It's actually a pretty sensible policy. I am not opposed to family reunification but you need to show you have a certain income so your family doesn't become a financial burden to the state.

Wealth tax is a very important idea. The rising wealth inequality is one of the biggest threats to our democratic societies. The fact that the Green Party in the UK has proposed one is the sole reason that I'm going to vote for them. I feel that strongly about it.
Taxing the rich more is not going to solve wealth inequality. It's just going to make harder to become rich. And billionaires will always have means to protect their money. Rich people will flee France and take their money with them, making the country poorer. That's socialism for you.
Feeling is not the same as facts. There are plenty of countries with wealth inequality where there is little poverty.
The problem you should be addressing is government's failure to create conditions to fight poverty like affordable housing, cheap food, good schooling, infrastructure, etc
@@pixelboy7654
The problem here is not poverty (even ho that is a huge problem in general) the problem that money is power and if we allow power to concentrate on very few hands that is the end of democracy
If these wealth taxes actually do something other than force the rich to move their account offshore and migrate to tax havens like Monaco then I will be very pleasantly surprised. Wealth inequality is at an all time high now due to QE during the pandemic, asset holders benefited immensely during it, it’s the classic case of the government making a problem worse and now having to fix it.
@@pixelboy7654Well tbf, countries with wealth inequality and little poverty require competent governments and great social safety net, they also require a managable and reasonable amount of population growth/immigration which is even rarer these days.
It seems there is not much difference between the left and right except on immigration and palestine while macron is being macron
Nuh left is against the privatized public sector, wanting to tax the rich unlike everyone else , want to fix retirement, want to make France for young people, want a France that protects its educated people therefore limiting brain drain , want a France that's energy independence, want a future proof France that can be competitive on a global level and want a France that isn't owned by any other country not USA and definitely not Russia and finally they want a strong EU for Europe to protect itself in a competitive global stage full of current and up coming superpowers
RN is pro Putin while NFP support Ukraine. Nouveau Front populaire will spend a lot more than LePen party , both populists promises because france is broke anyway. In addition some RN proposal will require EU approval which are not a « given » and surely will lead to « gracious » clashes 🤣.
In short Macron timing for his recent move is catastrophique leaving most into total disbelief and incomprehension. Such is life, Brexit was another one of the kind…
I think La Pen is much friendlier to Putin tho, although I guess her left counterpart also parrots Kremlin's talking points. The right in Poland (PIS) is also economically centre-leftish
The main difference here is around the economy. While far right tells that charges should be lightenend for the companies without any other income source, the left wants the ones that gathered a lot of money since the pandemic to contribute back to the system
NFP (left) are way more social in their manifesto compared to RN (far-right).
Worth noting that RN is also not very clear on certain takes (like pension reform) they keep switching between "it's an emergency" and "maybe later". The fact that they befriended a lot of big business owners and they didn't vote on social laws and reform since 2022 elections shows that social themes are not their priority at all
