Oral passing has become familiar to him. As with each of her presidential candidacies, Marine Le Pen has agreed to submit to questions and answers from the employers' association
Ethic,
for
Human-sized, independent and growth companies
. During a traditional lunch-debate on Thursday, organized in the halls of the very distinguished Cercle de l'Union interalliée, the candidate was able to express her economic views. Especially when it comes to business. But before declining, in the shadow of a gigantic tapestry of Queen
Athalie, “the favorable environment”
for the companies that she would establish once at the Élysée, the candidate wanted to hunt in the preamble two
“damages of 'picture"
of which she would be a victim.

The first would like her to be zero in economics while her opponents, Macron in the lead, would be real
“Mozarts”
in this area:
“When you see the results, I'm not sure they're as talented. The numbers are bad!
It is the president of the organization, Sophie de Menton, who will be responsible for pointing the second, depicting, not without teasing her, the leader of the National Rally as
“more left”
than
“extreme right in the
eyes
of employers. A feeling, relayed by a boss in the room confessing to having long seen Marine Le Pen as
“a feminine Mélenchon on the economic level”.
At the two, Marine Le Pen will sweep:
"Having a social vision is not being on the left."

As if to prove her point, the MP for Pas-de-Calais had reserved an announcement for her audience: Her project to reduce production taxes
"mainly targeted at VSEs-SMEs"
, with the abolition of business property contributions (CFE ).
And a removal of the social solidarity contribution from companies (C3S) in
“relocation” areas.
After having somewhat pouted listening to her plan for redevelopment of the territory and
"demetropolisation"
, the assistance of 78 business leaders applauded when the candidate said she was opposed to any increase in the minimum wage:
"I don't want no measures that would be experienced as a constraint for companies that they could not cope with”,
she assures. Not far from Philippe Nguyen
,
a former director general of the treasury who has been advising her for several years, as
Letter A
wrote. Rather than an increase in the minimum income, Marine Le Pen leans for an exemption from employer contributions for companies that will increase the salaries of those who earn up to three Smic by 10%.
“I'm amazed by the distance traveled since the first time we received it
,” assures Sophie de Menton at the end of the meal, to the point of admitting that she was
“charmed”
.
“
She exudes a real force of conviction.
She is an anti-Zemmour, who if he is anchored in history, in a pseudo-intellectualism, remains only obsessed with immigration",
goes so far as to let go of the president of the apolitical association
Ethic
who received, on November 18, the
Reconquest candidate!
Close friend of the former columnist precisely, the former boss of the SNCF, Loïk Le Floch-Prigent present in the room, also admits:
“It's day and night compared to five years ago.
Marine Le Pen has shown a certain mastery of the files on which she was expected.
Whatever question was asked, she had an analysis and an answer.
Which is not so common in the political class.”
A sign of good omen for the presidential debates to come, where Marine Le Pen knows that recovering economic credibility will not be the least of her challenges.
