The New Popular Front is currently finalizing its economic program and assessing the costs involved. Aurélie Trouvé, LFI deputy in charge of economic measures, reassures that they are updating their estimates and it is clear that the proposed measures will be quite costly. The union of the left for the legislative elections is proposing an increase in the minimum wage and price freezes to improve purchasing power, with plans to finance these through increased taxes on the wealthiest and businesses.
However, Lisa Thomas-Darbois, deputy director of French studies at the Montaigne Institute, a liberal think tank, points out that the savings measures may not be sufficient to cover the significant commitments of the New Popular Front. The proposed expenditures are expected to require substantial funding.
The New Popular Front’s economic proposals are stirring discussion and debate among experts who are analyzing their potential impact and feasibility. As the political landscape evolves and the campaign for legislative elections heats up, there is increasing focus on economic policy and financial resources. It remains to be seen how these proposals will play out and whether they will resonate with voters. Overall, the economic platform of the New Popular Front is garnering attention and scrutiny as election day approaches.
