Denormandie assures that the “food voucher” will be put in place immediately if Macron is re-elected

The Minister of Agriculture Julien Denormandie assured that the “food voucher” will be put in place “immediately after the election” in the event of the outgoing president’s reappointment. The “food voucher”, a measure by candidate Emmanuel Macron intended to allow more modest to have access to quality French food products, will be put in place “immediately after the election” in the event of the reappointment of the outgoing president, assured this Sunday the Minister of Agriculture Julien Denormandie. Technical details still under discussion This check, whose “principle is arbitrated”, but whose configuration and technical details are still under discussion, will be implemented “as soon as 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 idea is to say (that) today you have nearly 8 million of our fellow citizens who have hard to get access to productions local, to quality productions, to our French productions in reality and therefore we must give them a boost to help them acquire this”, declared Julien Denormandie, one of the founders of the Republic on the move. “Such is the good answer, the right answer will never be to say it is the farmers who will pay the purchasing power of the French”, he indicated, questioned on a possible questioning of the Egalim law, which aims to protect the income of farmers. The creation of this sustainable food voucher, which is slow to be put in place, 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.
