The President of the Republic will only have a role of representing the nation, and he will no longer be elected by universal suffrage.

The National Assembly will be responsible for investing the Prime Minister and the government.

In addition, articles 49-3 and 40 of the Constitution, which respectively allow the executive to free itself from Parliament and to render inadmissible any parliamentary proposal aimed at proposing increases in the State budget, will be repealed.

If 500,000 citizens sign a petition, the bill they want will be put on Parliament's agenda.

Citizens' conferences may be convened in order to "work on major framework laws", including one on youth.

In addition, the right to vote in local and European elections will be granted to foreigners living in France.

A Certificate of Vocational Aptitude (CAP) will be recreated “in all vocational streams”, and new streams will be opened in vocational high schools.

At least six additional EPRs will be created.

  • Agriculture

Fabien Roussel plans, if elected, to present a new implementation plan for the latest reform of the common agricultural policy (CAP).

The aim is in particular to "combat the unbearable inequalities of income aid by supporting the first 60 hectares as a priority".

An agricultural orientation and programming law will also be presented to Parliament.

Still to improve purchasing power, taxes on electricity and gas prices will be reduced (level to be defined).

Fabien Roussel promises the return to retirement at 60, with a full pension.

Early retirement for people with arduous jobs or with long careers will be permitted by law.

Finally, no pension “may not be less than 1,200 euros net”, and the half-share of widows and widowers will be restored, guarantees the candidate.

The candidate Roussel pleads for "a refoundation of the organization of the police forces and a redefinition of their missions".

Bone tests will be banned for unaccompanied minors, while active undocumented workers will be regularized.

In addition, the right to asylum will once again be guaranteed to refugees.

Several laws, such as the so-called “Global Security” and those “infringing the freedom of the press and creation on digital media”, will be repealed.

The current Superior Council of the Judiciary will be replaced by a Superior Council of Justice, "guarantor of the independence of magistrates and magistrates".

The communist candidate promises to "emergency release human and material resources" for justice.
