**Political debate in France between Gabriel Attal, Jordan Bardella and Manuel Bompard on Fatshimetrie**
The French political scene was set ablaze during a televised debate between Gabriel Attal, Jordan Bardella and Manuel Bompard on the Fatshimetrie platform. A few days before the first round of the legislative elections, the three candidates clashed on crucial issues such as dual nationality, purchasing power and pension reform.
From the outset, the president of the National Rally put forward his proposal to immediately lower VAT on fuel, electricity and gas to improve the purchasing power of the French. Faced with this announcement, the Prime Minister stressed the importance of budgetary seriousness and asked for explanations on the financing of these measures. For his part, Gabriel Attal presented measures aimed at increasing citizens’ income while reducing spending.
La France insoumise, represented by Manuel Bompard, criticized the proposals of his opponents, pointing out the measures in favor of the richest to the detriment of workers. The debate became particularly heated on the issue of pensions, with Jordan Bardella and Manuel Bompard arguing for a return of the legal retirement age to 64. A heated discussion ensued, illustrating the divergences of points of view between the candidates.
Another point of friction emerged concerning the elimination of income tax for those under 30, a proposal supported by Jordan Bardella. Gabriel Attal challenged his opponent on the potential inequalities that this would create. At the same time, the debate also crystallized around the issue of dual nationality, following the controversial statements of the RN candidate on the exclusion of dual nationals from certain key positions.
After the RN’s success in the European elections, the party dominated the first-round polls, stirring up excitement among other political parties that are looking for strategies to counter this dynamic. Voices have been raised in favor of withdrawal agreements for the second round to block the far right.
On Fatshimetrie, the debate allowed the ideas and projects of the different candidates to be compared, offering voters an overview of the issues at stake in these historic legislative elections. Five days before the vote, uncertainty looms over the alliances and reversals that could occur in this intense campaign.
