Attacked by his opponents on the lack of precision of his project, the head of state, candidate for his re-election, wants to scare his proposals as and when the thirty-two days remains before the first Tour.

He waited for the last moment to formalize his candidacy, declaring himself the day before the deadline. Emmanuel Macron is not in a hurry, either, to present his project for the presidential election of April 10 and 24. At thirty-two days of the first round, the “president-president” has still not revealed a detailed program, which would allow the French to become a precise idea of the reforms he intends to engage for the next five years, in case of reelection. Rather than playing directly cards on the table, the Head of State has decided to present his project to the dropper, by gaining proposals as and when his campaign go.
On his first trip as a candidate, Monday, March 7, in Poissy (Yvelines), he promised to “unfold”, in the coming month, “some simple ideas”, around four “pacts” : a European pact, which aims in particular to build a Europe of Defense. An agreement between generations, with probably a reform of pensions and another on dependence. A productive pact, in order to go towards full employment. And, finally, a republican pact with measures in secularism or immigration. In a more concrete way, he has also committed, if it is re-elected, to remove the TV fee, triple the ceiling of the “Macron Prime” which so far allows companies to pay up to 1,000 euros without charge or tax, or to give more room for companies in schools.

Reference to the fact that no precise measurement included in the “Letter to the French” of the Elysee tenant, published on March 3, then in the video broadcast by his campaign team the next day. Only large vague orientations included, as the need to “work more”, to “continue lower taxes on work and production” or “better remunerate” teachers. “In 1988, Mitterrand had written a long letter to the French, where he exposed his project in detail. Macron imitates it in 2022 without saying anything concrete, even on the pensions, aligning just a few keywords”, had recalled the Socialist Senator Rémi Féraud. What to reactivate the criticism already used by its opponents in 2017 “the man without program”.
