Among the 95 measures advocated, few new. We find, as in the previous presidential re-establishment of minimum sentences, the automatic expulsion of foreigners for certain offenses or the abolition of family allowances for parents of delinquent minors.
However, there emerges a "philosophy of firmness," slides Marine Le Pen to the Parisian .

To oppose this “culture of laxity accompanied by a culture of the unsaid” , Marine Le Pen notably pleads for a multi-annual plan of five billion euros over five years in favor of security.

These funds will in particular be allocated to the creation of 7,000 police and gendarme stations, as well as 20,000 additional prison places.
To fight against burglaries, the flame party intends to create a tax credit for the installation by individuals of home protection systems on the model of what exists for the energy transition.

An extremely rare thing: just a few hours after the presentation of this program, the Minister of the Interior and his Secretary of State, Christophe Castaner and Laurent Nuñez, broke up with a press release to " be (sorry) about the weakness of Marine Le Pen's backward-looking proposals ”. “ The president of the National Rally ignores the threats of tomorrow, does not respond to those of today and alternates between measures already in force and old moons of the far right. No wonder (...) ”, assert the two Beauvau tenants.
After detailing some " examples " of what " the program of the president of the National Rally offers ", Christophe Castaner and Laurent Nuñez ensure that " several proposals for this program turn out to be already in force, which questions " according to them " on the reality of Marine Le Pen's interest in security issues ".

To respond to the president of the RN and provide " a real analysis of threats and solutions ", the government finally announces that it is working on a " white paper on internal security ", which is still " being drafted ".
