Dominique de Villepin presidential campaign platform

Overview

Dominique de Villepin, a potential candidate for the 2027 French presidential election, has outlined a platform centered on strengthening social dialogue and constitutionalizing social negotiation. He has proposed codifying the principle of negotiation into law to grant unions primacy through a social charter, suggesting that future reforms—such as pension changes—should involve expert commissions, social conferences, and citizen conventions.

Regarding specific economic policies, de Villepin has advocated for a points-based pension system that allows individuals more freedom in choosing retirement ages. Additionally, he has criticized the current method of the state setting the minimum wage (SMIC) by decree, describing the practice as “the Middle Ages.” He argues that wage levels should instead be negotiated between employers and unions to ensure economic health and social stability.
