The first round of the presidential
election will be held on 23rd of April. On the eve of it, the leader of the
National Front Marine Le Pen has posted the video on her Twitter account where she presents 10
actions that she will take during the first two months in case of her election.
The French presidential candidate also published the text version on her website.
1. Cancel the Schengen agreement and
restore control at the national borders
This statement made a big fuss in
the Western mass media. It revived talks about the possibility of
Frexit. Also, this ambitious point of her program distinguishes the
leader of FN from all candidates and, especially, from the former investment
banker of the Rothschild bank, ex-Economy Minister, Emmanuel Macron, who is
satisfied with his current subordinate position in France.
2. Deport foreigners of
"S" category
Citizens of category S (Sûreté de
l'Etat–State Security) in France are not identified as criminals, but are
mentioned as someone who might have any connections with terrorist
organizations. This category is not formal, people cannot be arrested because
of it, but, nevertheless, they are under surveillance.
Marine le Pen also proposes to take
action and deprive suspicious individuals of French citizenship. Moreover, the
candidate suggests preventing individuals, who have dual citizenship and whose
connection with jihad is proved, to enter the State.
3. Repeal Criminal Laws “Dati” and
“Taubira” to end the judicial laxity
These laws make law breaker’s life
easier. In 2008, there were active discussions of the law that could put the
portion of criminals under house arrest because of lack of places in prisons.
In reality, the criminals with
electronic bracelets walk freely in the permitted areas of the city instead of
sitting in jail.
Cristiane Taubira is famous as a
fighter for the rights of criminals and black people and for ligalisation
of gay marriage. and Rachida Dati stands up consistently for a secular andl
iberal state.
Marine le Pen has always mentioned
that these laws show our weakness to the criminals and demonstrate our
disrespect towards their victims.
4. Organize a referendum on a major
institutional reform
This point involves the proportional
government, referendum on people’s legislative initiative, national priority,
and protection of people’s identity, culture and historical heritage. Also, it
suggests reducing the number of deputies and senators.
5. Implement tax reforms
The income tax is suggested to be
decreased by 10 % in the first three tranches and the additional fiscal burden
should be reduced by half for widows and widowers.
6. Reduce the retirement age
Restoration of retirement at age 60
with 40 contribution annuities. It is note worthy to say that despite the
protests of the citizens the retirement age has been increased recently from 60
to 62,5.
7. Abolish the State Medical Aid for
illegal immigrants
8. Encourage overtime work and
revaluate small pensions
9.Develop competitiveness and
provide work places
Marine le Pen suggests transferring
50 milliard of euro, which are now being spent on CICE (tax benefit for
competiveness and providing work places) to small and medium enterprises.
10. Repeal the Labor law “El Khomri”
The law proposed by the government
of Hollande, Valls, ElKhomri suggests increasing working hours (up to 60 hours
a week) and decreasing the extra payment for overtime. Moreover, the conditions
of dismissal can be noted in a labor agreement in advance.
The labor reform seems to be extremely unpopular among French people and it can be seen that the social guideline of Marine le Pen’s program will give her additional advantage in the presidential race.

avril 2017
Mes
chers compatriotes,
Vous
le savez, une part importante de mon projet nécessite de retrouver notre
souveraineté et donc de se libérer des règles anti-démocratiques de l’Union
européenne. Je nous donne pour cela six mois de négociation, au terme
desquelles c’est VOUS qui déciderez, par référendum, de notre appartenance ou
non à l’Union Européenne.
Mais
il n’est pas question de ne rien faire pendant cette période. Dans les deux
premiers mois de mon mandat, je prendrai tout de suite 10 mesures concrètes,
d’effet immédiat sur votre quotidien, pour revivifier la Démocratie et répondre
à l’urgence économique, sociale et sécuritaire que connaît notre pays. Ces dix
mesures les voici :
1-
Suspension des accords de Schengen et rétablissement des contrôles aux
frontières nationales.
