Marine Le Pen, leader of the far-right National Rally (RN) party in France, has unveiled an economic plan designed to distance her party from socialist policies. The plan includes measures such as budget cuts, partial capitalization of pension funds, and a goal of achieving 140 billion euros in net savings by 2032. This would bring public spending down to under 50% of the country's gross domestic product (GDP), a significant reduction. The program also calls for 30 billion euros in tax cuts, the elimination of "almost all" unnecessary government agencies, and a simplification of the complex administrative structure of the country's regions. Additionally, it proposes not replacing some public sector employees who leave their posts, and it includes a proposal to constitutionalize the "golden rule" through a referendum, which would require a progressive reduction of public debt. The economic program is intended to reassure financial markets and international creditors about France's high levels of debt. While this plan does not indicate a full embrace of liberal economic policies by the National Rally, it does incorporate some key economic principles. Jordan Bardella, who has been confirmed as the future Prime Minister if the party wins power, has played a significant role in shaping this shift. Similarly, Éric Ciotti, a prominent figure in the UDR (Union for a Popular Movement), has also influenced the direction of the policy. The article also highlights a growing crisis in French high schools, where 266,000 young people recently took to the streets in protest. These demonstrations have been linked to the declining state of the education system, including the implementation of a single middle school model and the widespread introduction of the baccalaureate (a high school diploma) for nearly all students. Critics argue that these changes have diminished the authority of teachers and contributed to a sense of frustration among students. An analysis mentioned in the article suggests that the youth are responding to the policies of political parties that have played a role in the decline of the school system, in some cases leading to a situation described as the "third-worldization" of education. Donald Trump commented on the situation, calling the events in France "nothing less than an out-of-control mass immigration" and suggesting that the issue is about Islam seeking to take over a once-great country. While this perspective is partial and controversial, it highlights concerns about the recruitment of young people from urban areas, who have joined the Palestinian cause or Islamic extremist movements. In particular, footage was released showing young people at the high school François-Villon in Beaugency (Loiret) and in the church of Saint-Hilaire in Soullans (Vendée) reciting a rap that pays tribute to terrorists Mohamed Merah and Salah Abdeslam.
