Is it right, is it left? The Emmanuel Macron Program, presented Thursday, March 17 at a press conference, reacted his competitors to the Elysee, anxious to leave the head of state of the “at the same time” that he likes for better to position himself against him.
A genuine indignation has seized the right, which feels looted. Valérie Pécresse accused Emmanuel Macron of “counterfeiting on pensions, nuclear, on agriculture, on the RSA”, under what, in the project of the Head of State, according to her, believes, according to her, Loans in his own. On the other hand, does it regret, it “remains in denial on authority, purchasing power and debt”. The member for Vaucluse Julien Aubert (Republicans) developed the theme of Plagiarism in Satiece. For him, the press conference of Emmanuel Macron is only a “replay” of that of Valérie Pécresse, a “photocopiage of the program of the right”.

“We always stigmatize the population”
Jean-Luc Mélenchon, the candidate of France unsuitable, has no more doubt on the label to attach to the head of state, saying to see in his project “widespread social abuse, the destruction of services fundamental public, a policy dated the crazy years of liberalism “. “Macron promises five years of unfortunately for the world of work, five years of antipopular reforms, five years of even more degraded public services,” has also denounced the Communist Fabien Roussel, who tried “unworthy” to “work fifteen to Twenty hours in exchange for the amount of an RSA “, as the head of state considered.
