In a message posted on his social media, the MR President called for a change of course in Europe, advocating a more pragmatic approach to current challenges.
Georges-Louis Bouchez stresses the need to strengthen Europe's industrial, energy and military autonomy, denouncing a worldview that is too often disconnected from reality. In his view, it is time to stop the naivety and focus on European interests, fully embracing our status as a power.
To achieve this, Georges-Louis Bouchez proposes a liberal policy aimed at cutting taxes and constraints for businesses in order to bring industries back to Europe. He also advocates reinvesting in nuclear power to ensure reliable, decarbonised energy, as well as a massive effort in defence, despite the cost. Finally, he calls for scrapping unnecessary regulations and the dogmas imposed by the left and political correctness.
The MR, he states, is already putting these principles into practice in the governments where it is represented and wants to carry them through to European level to durably strengthen European values.
