Every year, 300,000 students enter middle school without foundational skills. France has never achieved such poor results in reading and mathematics since the first PISA assessment in 2000. It is time to make education our priority again. My proposals to read in “Unir”
Translated from FrenchWomen should not be asked to erase themselves to satisfy religious demands. Equality between women and men is a fundamental achievement of our Republic. It applies everywhere, to everyone, without exception. I salute the mobilization of the Eiffel Tower staff who denounced the unacceptable.
Translated from FrenchTo say that we can return to retirement at 60, as Jean-Luc Mélenchon does, or at 62, as Marine Le Pen does, is to refuse to face reality. It is up to the social partners to determine how to ensure the long-term balance of the pension systems.
Translated from French (France)Our institutions will evolve, and so will the role of the President of the Republic. The next president will have to rise above the fray, be capable of setting a course and bringing the French together. He will have to give the government much more room.
Translated from FrenchI am not a candidate today. My timeline is the end of the year. If the winner of the primary creates the momentum necessary to win the presidential election, why would I interfere?
Translated from FrenchOn VAT: Being on the left means wanting wages to rise and work to be better paid. I propose a measure that would benefit workers' purchasing power in two ways: increase net wages and lower food and energy prices.
Translated from FrenchWhen François Mitterrand introduced retirement at age 60, a worker's life expectancy did not exceed 70 years. I claim credit for this record! Go tell the parents of those who are still here that it was a fictitious expense! It is extra life that was given to millions of French people.
Translated from FrenchPolitics is not a game! Today, there are candidates who are running for the fourth time. And others who have been prime ministers but say they are responsible for nothing!
Translated from FrenchFor this presidential election, it will be necessary to go beyond political groupings and seek unity, a sacred union of democrats. This is the approach I have undertaken.
Translated from FrenchFrançois Patriat served the Republic in many ways and for more than 40 years, as a minister and as a parliamentarian, in the National Assembly and then in the Senate. But it was for Burgundy that he had devoted most of his power of conviction and action. He had passions that he could only imagine sharing. I extend my condolences to his family.
