Among his proposals, which he did not quantify, Eric Zemmour proposes in particular a “zero charge bonus”, paid by the employer to the employee “without any tax or charge” and which could represent “up to three months of net salary,” he said. He also wants to “give 10,000 euros per birth of a Frenchman in a rural town”.
“High-speed Islamization”

A demonstration of 1,100 people opposed to the arrival of the candidate Reconquête! took place a little earlier, enamelled with tensions before dispersing. The security forces sporadically fired tear gas against several dozen individuals dressed in black. In the afternoon, the police had made six arrests among the “antifa” demonstrators.
