Economy and energy
Pension reform Repeal it, lower the age
Said
Her group voted to suspend the 2023 pension reform while it waits for the reform to be repealed.
“Nous serons les seuls à être cohérents : en attendant son abrogation, nous allons voter pour suspendre la réforme Borne”
Our translation We will be the only ones to be consistent: while waiting for its repeal, we are going to vote to suspend the Borne reform
Taxing the very rich No new tax on wealth
Said
Her party opposes the Zucman tax in any version; it proposes instead a tax on financial wealth that spares the main home and business assets.
“Pour nous, la taxe Zucman, c'est non. Ni "light", ni "hard", ni rien du tout.”
Our translation For us, the Zucman tax is no. Neither "light", nor "hard", nor anything at all.
Nuclear power Build new reactors
Said
Public money should go to restoring the existing nuclear fleet and investing as fast as possible in new reactors.
“Cet argent doit aller à un plan d’urgence pour rétablir les performances du parc nucléaire historique et investir le plus vite possible dans de nouveaux réacteurs.”
Our translation This money must go to an emergency plan to restore the performance of the historic nuclear fleet and to invest as quickly as possible in new reactors.
Society
Immigration Sharply cut immigration
Said
France must go much further to stop what she calls massive and uninterrupted immigration.
“Il faut maintenant aller beaucoup plus loin pour endiguer le projet de transition démographique porté par une classe politique acquise à l’idéologie d’une immigration massive et ininterrompue.”
Our translation We must now go much further to stem the project of demographic transition carried by a political class won over to the ideology of massive and uninterrupted immigration.

France in the world
Ukraine Push for talks, fewer arms
Said
France would keep giving Ukraine military help, possibly equipment, but can no longer commit large sums of money.
“Nous continuerons à lui apporter une aide militaire, éventuellement du matériel. Mais compte tenu de la situation de la France, nous ne pouvons plus nous engager à verser des sommes considérables par rapport à notre budget.”
Our translation We will continue to give it military aid, possibly equipment. But given France's situation, we can no longer commit to paying out considerable sums relative to our budget.
Palestinian state Not now
Said
France's recognition of a Palestinian state in September 2025 recognised Hamas rule rather than Palestine and was a very serious mistake.
“C'est le Hamastan qu'Emmanuel Macron reconnaît aujourd'hui, pas la Palestine. C'est une faute extrêmement grave, notamment à l'égard des nations qui luttent contre le terrorisme islamiste.”
Our translation It is Hamastan that Emmanuel Macron recognises today, not Palestine. It is an extremely serious mistake, particularly towards the nations that fight Islamist terrorism.
EU–Mercosur deal Against the Mercosur deal
Said
A deep renegotiation of the EU–Mercosur trade framework will be her absolute priority in 2027.
“En 2027, la renégociation profonde de ce cadre commercial naïf et dépassé, que l'UE est la dernière au monde à accepter, sera notre priorité absolue.”
Our translation In 2027, the deep renegotiation of this naive and outdated trade framework, which the EU is the last in the world to accept, will be our absolute priority.
