In autumn, he will publish a new work presented as “an ode to France that works.” Almost Nicolas Sarkozy in the text … with Jordan Bardella in his head, would the national rally become in favor of business?
The potential replacement of Marine Le Pen for the presidential elections continues to treat its image with a historically reluctant economic world towards its political party. On Monday, it was an operation of seduction before the members of the ethical network, gathered in the one interpreted by its president Sophie de Menthon.
“We think you were socialist!”
The newspaper Opinion Relatives a significant scene that occurred at the end of lunch. Sophie de Menthon, provocative, is launched in bardella:
– “Wouldn’t you be a little well?”
-“I never hid it!” He replied, laughing.
– “We think you were socialist!” He aggravated business holders.
He laughs in the room, followed by nourished applause. The president of the RN seems to have scored points.
So Bardella really attracts employers? More than Marine Le Pen, who recently declared LCI to reduce the number of officials was “something right.”
Since the last legislative elections, the CEMEX doors have worked for the RN. During the campaign, Bardella spoke growth, stability, taxes. He promised not to alter macroeconomic balances. A reassuring speech, especially in front of the fears that woke up for the program of the new Popular Front.
Promises, doubts
But reservations remain. The president of Medef returned to RN and NFP, qualifying its “dangerous” programs. In the Board of Directors, distrust remains palpable.
The vagueness of the RN economic program persists. Bardella promises the abolition of CVAE by 2027, salary increases through employer exemptions, a loan at a zero rate of up to 100,000 euros to promote property ownership … but financing remains impossible to trace.
According to estimates, the cost of its program ranges between 70 and 120 billion euros per year. The fight against immigration will not be enough to compensate for the 30 billion necessary to return to a retirement at 62 (or even 60 years for some). As for the promises to reduce expenses, they are shown without calendar or details.
Bardella wants less immigration, but more work. It wants to reduce VAT while preserving public services. He wants to increase wages, while lightening loads.
Look for balance. It lacks.
And above all, the line still is clear: sometimes liberal, sometimes protectionist. Sometimes favorable to deregulation, sometimes interventionist. Invokes economic freedom, but attacks Brussels, the euro and the opening of the markets.
On pensions, in debt, silence persists.
Basically, the bardella duo – Le Pen interprets balance: reassuring markets without scaring its electoral base. But to flirt too much with ambiguity, the RN could lose on two fronts: the confidence of economic circles … and that of their voters.
