He proceeded with small impressionistic touches.
Since the start of the school year last September, Emmanuel Macron has multiplied the warning signs of his candidacy - now official - in the presidential election of 2022. In form, of course, but also in substance.
Thus the outgoing Head of State sketched, as he spoke and travelled, the main lines of the campaign that were going to be his for the weeks to come.
Delivering in passing some of the measures he would implement if he were re-elected on April 24 for a second term.

● Pensions: push back the legal retirement age and abolish special schemes
To “
save our pay-as-you-go model and correct its inequalities
”, Emmanuel Macron indicated, during a speech on November 9, that he said it will be necessary to “
take clear decisions
” concerning pensions
“from 2022”
.
For this, he envisages a text around three “
simple principles
”.
The first would consist in “
working longer, by pushing back the legal age
”.
The second would plan to "
move towards a fairer system, by abolishing the special regimes, by harmonizing the rules between public and private, and by ensuring that at the end of a full career no pension can be less than 1000 euros
".
Finally, the third would consist in introducing "
more freedom, that is to say allowing people to retire gradually, to accumulate rights more quickly (...), to encourage work beyond the legal age (...)
”.
Added to this is his change of gear on the universal system, yet theorized and defended in 2017, to which he now prefers "
a simplified system
"
with
"
roughly three major regimes
", for "
the public service, for employees and for the independents
”, as he announced on TF1/LCI on December 15.

● Energy: drastically relaunch nuclear without neglecting renewables
While "
the world of tomorrow will be more electric
", Emmanuel Macron detailed, during a visit to Belfort on February 10, his plan to "
give visibility
" and "
depth of field
" in terms of energy by 2030-2050.
In addition to "
extending all the nuclear reactors that can be extended
", so "
that no nuclear reactor in a state of production is closed in the future
", he announced that he was going to "
launch (...) a program of new nuclear reactors
”.
This relates to low-power reactors (SMR), but not only.
"
I would like six EPR2s to be built, and for us to launch studies on the construction of eight additional EPR2s
,” he said.
As for renewables, he set the goal of "
about fifty wind farms at sea
" over 30 years, saying that the first would be "
commissioned (...) from this year
".
A way to put a stop to the very controversial onshore wind turbines, and to prefer solar power to them, of which he intends to "
multiply by almost ten the installed power (...) by ensuring a balance between the installations on the roof and those on the ground
".

● Security: doubling the police forces on the territory through reorganizations
The observation of the "Beauvau de la sécurité" is without appeal, and Emmanuel Macron delivered some of the lessons during a meeting with the police from the future Hôtel des polices de Nice, on January 10.
“
Today, our police officers like our gendarmes, they do a lot of tasks that do not change (the) daily life (of the French)
”.
This is why, after having completed the creation of the 10,000 positions to which he committed in 2017, he wishes "to
have more people present on the ground
" and "
to double the police presence on the public highway
" by "
clearing the 'equivalent of 3,500 police and gendarmes
' over the next eight years.
"
How? 'Or' What ?
(...) By removing undue or peripheral tasks (...) which sometimes take them whole evenings
," he said, citing "
the guards of public buildings (or) of hospitalized prisoners, the police audiences, (and) the various and varied escorts
”.
“
So we are going to free them from these tasks, by having them occupied by administrative staff or by partnerships (…) private or under contract
”, he indicated.

● Education: let schools build their own educational projects locally
Wishing to focus very significant efforts on youth, Emmanuel Macron took advantage of the presentation of his “Marseille en grand” plan, on September 2, to draw the outlines of what he calls “
the school of the future
”.
Which would go well beyond the splitting of classes decided in 2017. “
We must (…) give more freedom at the same time as we give more means.
We need to have school principals (...) (who) can choose the teaching team
, "he said, saying he wanted to make Marseille"
a laboratory
", by launching 50 test establishments “
in the districts where the situation is the most difficult (…) from the start of the 2022-2023 school year
”.
The goal is to develop
an educational project adapted to the pupils (...)
" which would make it possible in particular "
to adapt the school rhythms for the children, to think about sports time differently (...), to think about cultural time next to school differently (...)
”.
"
In a way, to have a team that is not just made up of teachers, but to be able to first choose the teachers who are there, and to be sure that they are fully motivated and that they adhere to the project. (…), and also to be able to associate extracurricular actors who share the objective
”, he summed up.
Before confirming that he wanted to “
then evaluate these results and, if they are conclusive, generalize them
”.
