Marine Le Pen adopts parts of Macron’s economic approach for 2027
Marine Le Pen has set out economic proposals for France’s 2027 presidential election on behalf of the National Rally.
In 2017, she was strongly critical of Emmanuel Macron’s economic plans, but her current proposals echo parts of Macron’s approach.
They include simplifying administration, removing regulations and cutting public spending and some business taxes.
The proposed spending cuts would focus on the state budget, health insurance and local authorities.
The plan also includes limits on some social benefits and lower taxes on inheritances, while some proposals break with Macron-era policies, especially on immigration, the environment and the European Union.
The shift began gradually in 2022 and accelerated from 2024, showing how the party’s economic platform has changed; the proposals are for the 2027 election.
