The event, hosted by the MEDEF (French Business Confederation), focused heavily on economic programs. Candidates were questioned by entrepreneurs about their plans for the French economy. A key point raised by Marine Tondelier concerned the cost of labor, framing it as both an expense for companies and income for citizens. The debate aimed to provide insights into each candidate's approach to economic challenges facing France. This encounter offers a crucial platform for entrepreneurs to assess potential future leadership. The 2027 presidential election is already gaining momentum with this high-profile event.
