Impact reported that Jean-Luc Mélenchon unveiled a program for the 2027 presidential election featuring 1,069 measures, including 238 new ones. According to the report, he proposed to immediately raise the minimum wage (SMIC) to €1,700 net per month, to index salaries to inflation, and to increase housing assistance (APL) and the index point for civil servants by 10%. He also planned to establish a maximum salary gap of 1 to 20 within companies and a 32-hour work week for demanding or night jobs. Regarding pensions, the program aimed to gradually lower the retirement age to 60, with full benefits after 40 years of contributions, by first abolishing the reform raising it to 64. Impact also reported proposals for a pension at least equal to the revalued SMIC for a full career, considering the RSA to validate trimesters, and guaranteeing autonomy set at the poverty line, which is €1,337 for a single person. The program included the reinstatement of the wealth tax (ISF), a minimum 2% tax on assets of at least €100 million, a maximum inheritance of €12 million, and increasing the income tax brackets from 5 to 14. On security, Mélenchon proposed, according to Impact, to dismantle BAC and BRAV-M, to abolish IGPN and IGGN in favor of an independent authority, and to prohibit LBDs, tasers, de-escalation grenades, kettling during demonstrations, and widespread facial recognition. The program also planned the regularization of undocumented workers, students, and parents of schoolchildren, and aimed to make the 10-year residence permit the reference title. For housing, he proposed to construct 200,000 public housing units and 30,000 youth housing units each year for five years, to prohibit evictions without public rehousing, and to limit tourist rentals such as Airbnb to 60 days per year. In health, he planned for 100% reimbursement of prescribed care and the recruitment of 100,000 caregivers and doctors in hospitals, as well as 300,000 professionals in the medico-social sector and nursing homes (EHPAD). He also aimed to ensure access to a public health service within less than 30 minutes. In education, the program intended to make schooling compulsory until the age of 18, compared to 16 currently, reduce class sizes to below the European average of 19 students, and establish a nine-month ecological citizen service paid at the revalued SMIC before the age of 25. Regarding energy, it set a target of 100% renewable energies by 2060 at the latest and proposed to ban night flights between 11 p.m. and 6 a.m. Finally, Impact reported that Mélenchon advocated for a sixth Republic, withdrawal from NATO's integrated command, and disobedience to certain EU rules. He also proposed to recognize the massacre of Algerians on October 17, 1961, as a crime against the state, to ban artificial intelligences simulating emotional relationships, and to combat media concentration. #Mélanchon2027 #Élections #PolitiqueFrançaise (translated)
