Mélenchon Proposes Pension Reversal, Wage Increase, and NATO Withdrawal in Manifesto
French presidential candidate Jean-Luc Mélenchon has released his manifesto, 'L'Avenir en commun,' reaffirming key policies from previous campaigns. He pledges to repeal President Macron's pension reform by restoring retirement at 60 for those with 40 years of contributions, raise the net minimum wage to 1,700 euros, and implement price caps on essential goods. The platform also calls for abolishing the flat tax on capital income, increasing taxes on the wealthy, phasing out nuclear power, and gradually withdrawing France from NATO's integrated military command. Mélenchon emphasizes economic stimulus through consumer spending and redirecting savings toward ecological and social needs.
