The “food voucher” put in place “as soon as Macron is re-elected”

The “food voucher”, measure of the candidate Emmanuel Macron intended to allow the most modest to have access to quality French food products, will be put in place “immediately after the election” in the event of reappointment of the outgoing president, assured Sunday Julien Denormandie, Minister of Agriculture and close to Emmanuel Macron. This check whose “principle is arbitrated”, but whose configuration and technical details are still under discussion, will be implemented “immediately after the election, during the year 2022”, affirmed Julien Denormandie, guest of the program Dimanche en politique on France 3, one week before the second round of the presidential election. “The right answer will never be to say it is the farmers who will pay for the purchasing power of the French” “The idea is to say (that) today you have nearly 8 million of our fellow citizens who are struggling to have access to local productions, to productions of quality, to our French productions in D bedridden and so we have to give them a boost to help them acquire this, “said Julien Denormandie, one of the founders of the Republic on the move. “This is the right answer, the right answer will never be to say that is the farmers who will pay for the purchasing power of the French,” he said, when asked about a possible challenge to the Egalim law, which aims to protect the income of farmers. The creation of this sustainable food check , which is slow to set up, was announced in mid-December 2020 by Emmanuel Macron before the Citizens’ Climate Convention. Its establishment was definitively adopted in the climate and resilience law voted in July 2021 in Parliament.
