From the Roland-Garros stadium, Édouard Philippe listed the three priorities of his economic program. According to him, having “accounts in order” necessarily requires a reduction in spending, particularly social spending. Reason why “we must carry out a pension reform based on more work and not more deductions”, he declared.
The mayor of Le Havre and candidate in 2027 adds that we must “assume the policy of supply” and proposes “the elimination of 50 billion in production taxes in return for the elimination of 50 billion in aid to businesses”. Finally, he wants to “enable the construction of infrastructure”, for example in rail freight.
The head of Horizons warns: if he is elected, we will have to “work collectively a little more”. “Courage in politics is saying what we believe is right for the country, even when it is not popular,” he notes.
