Georges-Louis Bouchez does not mince his words when it comes to defending his convictions on the crucial issues of our society. The MR President faced his 5 other counterparts in a presidential debate organised this Wednesday evening by Le Vif.
In firm opposition to the socialist proposal for a 32-hour week, he points to the potential pitfalls of this system, drawing on past experiences such as the 35-hour week in France. For Georges-Louis Bouchez, end-of-career statuses must be harmonised, while better accounting for the strenuousness of work and ensuring fair conditions for all workers.
On the tax front, the MR President stands out by categorically rejecting the idea of a “tax shift”. For him, what is needed instead is a genuine reduction in taxation. He highlights the importance of boosting employment and easing the burden on the middle class, notably by proposing a tax exemption for income up to €15,000.
On energy, the MR President firmly defends a diversified “energy mix”, including both renewable sources and nuclear power. This approach is essential to guarantee the security and stability of our energy supply!
Regarding work, Georges-Louis Bouchez calls for a return to activity, denouncing the complacency encouraged by certain left-wing policies. He also proposes concrete measures, such as a tax exemption for income up to €15,000, to support the middle class and boost employment.
Finally, he calls for the MR to refocus on a more “popular” approach, emphasising a stronger presence on the ground and a more authentic representation of all layers of society.
