Valérie Pécresse wants to believe in victory.
Guest of the RTL-Le Figaro-LCI Grand Jury, the president of the Île-de-France region and presidential candidate spoke at length about her program and solutions for France.
If she is not the favorite of the right in opinion polls or in the hearts of activists, who will vote in early December to nominate their candidate for the presidential election, the former minister of Nicolas Sarkozy still thinks that she has all his chances of winning.
“
The battle of ideas, it is I who will win it,
” she assures us.
To discover
Presidential 2022: where are the candidates in the polls?
She also believes that The Republicans, to which she will join again in the coming days, will once again become the party "
of reconquest and alternation
".
"
I am convinced that it is the candidate of the right who will be in the second round (...).
We have the right solutions for France
”, she pleaded, adding that the landscape would emerge when LR has a“
single candidate
”.
"

"
The president of the Île-de-France region defended her proposal to increase wages by 10% by lowering social contributions.

In addition, Valérie Pécresse specified that she wanted companies to be able to negotiate, profession by profession, company by company, the working time and the remuneration of their employees.
“
To refer to a legal working time of 35 hours frozen in stone does not make sense today (...) We must release energies.
It will be a free negotiation within the company on the work and on the salary
", she defends, adding that it is necessary"
to make
the workers
want
"to"
work more
"with better remuneration.
Immigration and territorialized penalties
Valérie Pécresse also lambasted the candidates pleading for "
zero immigration
". “
It's absolutely not credible. All those who say "we will stop everything in April
"
, it is not possible because there is a work immigration, a student immigration
", she judges, targeting in particular Éric Zemmour and Marine Le Pen as well as some of his opponents on the right, without naming them. To tackle this subject, the candidate proposes a constitutional bill in which there would be "
migration quotas by country
" which would be voted "
by Parliament
" every year. "
We must halve the number of residence permits and put a compulsory French exam
», She adds, specifying that no visa will be granted to nationals of countries which do not accept to take back illegal immigrants expelled by France.

In addition, the president of the Île-de-France region believes that it would be wise to territorialize the sentences.
According to her, this would allow "to
come to end the crimes and misdemeanors which often take place in the same place
".
On the other hand, she considers that to fight against sentences that are not executed, it is important "
to invent new solutions
".
“
We must create closed centers for adults (...).
They are imprisoned in this place with electronic bracelets,
”she explains.
Macron writes "
a check every day
"
The presidential candidate also strongly attacked the head of state.
According to her, Emmanuel Macron's strategy for the next six months is to write “
a check every day
”.
"
As soon as there is a problem, we can appeal to the head of state to write a check,
" she tackles.
She also accuses the Head of State of having largely participated in the indebtedness of France.
"
He made France's debt soar to 117% of the national debt
", she accuses, adding that the government had "
not necessarily spent well
" during the Covid-19 crisis.
