The program “Le Débat”, which should be limited to a duration of 2h30, will begin with a speech by Marine Le Pen, after drawing lots.
The first theme is devoted to
purchasing power
, one of the key themes of this campaign and in particular that of the candidate of the National Rally.
Which has also distinguished itself from its opponent in this area: according to an Odoxa-Backbone Consulting survey for Le Figaro, 54% of French people believe that Marine Le Pen would be "the best (or the least bad)" to deal with the subject purchasing power if elected against 42% for Emmanuel Macron.
As FranceInfo specifies, the candidates will then discuss
international
topics .
Then, on the
social model,
namely: pensions, health and dependency.
Does Marine Le Pen thus intend to attack the balance sheet of the outgoing president, in particular on his management of the health crisis?
“The goal this time is not to physically collapse Emmanuel Macron.
You should not try to crush it
, ”confided to Figaro one of his relatives.
"
We have to show that (...) that Marine is solid, masters her files and that we can entrust her with the France house in confidence."
Then come the themes of
the environment
,
competitiveness
and
French attractiveness
.
Then, finally,
youth
,
security
,
immigration
and
institutions
.
The institutional subject also marked this end of the campaign, after the two candidates presented their lines of thought.
Marine Le Pen thus defends her idea of a "referendum revolution" which notably involves the establishment of a citizens' initiative referendum from 500,000 signatures.
For his part, Emmanuel Macron, who suffers from his image as an arrogant and disconnected president, thus said he was open to full proportional representation for the legislative elections.
