Dezbatere cu scântei în Franța, în cursa pentru Élysée: Le Pen atacă UE, Mélenchon provoacă patronii, iar foștii premieri ai lui Macron se înfruntă

The first major debate for the 2027 French presidential elections featured intense exchanges among candidates, focusing on economic policies and public debt. Marine Le Pen proposed significant budget cuts, including reducing France's EU contributions, while Jean-Luc Mélenchon advocated for the cancellation of debt held by the ECB. Édouard Philippe warned against such policies, suggesting they could harm France's financial credibility. The debate highlighted the candidates' differing approaches to economic stability, social spending, and immigration, with Le Pen leading in polls ahead of the first round.
