le Pen Bardella economics
In 2025,
the economic platform of Marine Le Pen and Jordan Bardella’s National Rally
(RN) has evolved into a "pro-business" stance designed to reassure
corporate elites while maintaining populist appeal.
Key
Economic Pillars in 2025
Pro-Business
Shift: Bardella has led a "boardroom charm offensive," promising a
"pro-growth" taxation model to facilitate business expansion and job
creation.
Fiscal
Restraint: The party’s 2026 counter-budget proposes €100 billion to €115
billion in spending cuts over five years to address France's massive deficit.
Sovereigntist
Policies: Despite the shift, they remain committed to curbing immigration to
protect French labor and favor a wealth tax to fund social priorities.
Energy
and Industry: They prioritize nuclear power expansion and the
"simplification of rules" that weigh down French firms.
Stance on
European Institutions
Monetary
Policy: Bardella has suggested the European Central Bank (ECB) should resume
asset purchases (QE) to help France manage its debt, arguing that a French
economic "crack" would destabilize the entire eurozone.
The Euro:
The party has officially abandoned plans to exit the euro, focusing instead on
reforming EU economic rules from within.
Deregulation:
They frequently criticize "excess regulation from Brussels" and have
called for a French version of a "Department of Government
Efficiency" to cut bureaucratic waste.
Strategic
Differences
Jordan
Bardella: Positions himself as a "pragmatic" reformer with a focus on
AI and high-tech growth to appeal to wealthier southern voters.
Marine Le
Pen: Maintains a stronger focus on the "earthy" concerns of the
former industrial northeast, emphasizing purchasing power for the working
class.
While
corporate leaders remain skeptical of their ability to manage a potential
eurozone debt crisis, recent polls from late 2025 show both figures leading in
the first round of preferred 2027 presidential candidates.
