Inflation compensation, increase in the minimum wage, reduction in VAT... The proposals of political parties on purchasing power

Confusion dominates.

A few hours after the verdict of the legislative elections which deprives Emmanuel Macron of an absolute majority in the National Assembly while swelling the ranks of the Nupes and especially of the RN, the parliamentary and political calendar seems totally upset.

It must be said that, during the campaign, the president-candidate had placed the first weeks of his possible new five-year term under the sign of a revaluation of purchasing power in the face of soaring prices.

But faced with a lower house torn between a large central bloc and two reinforced extreme oppositions, the government is on a ridge line when it wanted to present the future bill on purchasing power to the Council of Ministers on July 6. next.

And review the text in the coming weeks.

If the executive hopes to build and build a majority on a case-by-case basis, it knows that its adversaries are waiting for it and are sharpening their weapons to fuel the parliamentary debate.

The government spokesperson may reassure herself, the parliamentary contests are likely to be lively as an ideological chasm separates the leaders from the political forces.

In his campaign, Emmanuel Macron had touted several measures to bail out the portfolio of the French.

Also on the program is the payment of an “inflation check” aimed at mitigating the rise in prices on the French basket as well as the continuation of the tariff shield on energy prices.

In the context where purchasing power had imposed itself as the central axis of the campaign, Emmanuel Macron finally wanted to abolish the TV license fee for all and revalue pensions, social minima and family allowances by 4%.

Without a seat at the Palais Bourbon, Emmanuel Macron will surely want to seek votes on the right.

In view of the legislative elections, Les Républicains proposed in particular to calibrate pensions according to inflation and to cancel the increase in the CSG decided during the first five-year term.

The right finally put in the debate the full tax exemption of overtime, without any limit.

Coming in force to the National Assembly, the Nupes will want to weigh with all its weight.

With a program largely inspired by that of presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the left-wing coalition has taken up the proposal developed over and over again by the rebellious leader to deal with inflation: the freezing of prices by decree.

The former presidential candidate also hopes for a 10% increase in the value of the index point for civil servants, and the reimposition of wealth tax.

Marine Le Pen also wanted to give companies the possibility of increasing wages by 10% and exempting this increase from employer contributions.

Another flagship measure repeated at will by the MP for Pas-de-Calais: the abolition of corporation tax for entrepreneurs under the age of 30 during their first five years of activity.

The former boss of the RN finally wanted to renationalize the highways to lower the cost of tolls.

In order to reach a compromise between these very clear-cut opinions, Emmanuel Macron will perhaps try to quickly install his "National Council for Refoundation", supposed to lead to compromises between social partners, citizen movements and political forces.

Even if the launch of this new structure, which was to take place on Wednesday, has just
