This time Macron wrote his name in the same list. Emanuel Macron has promised in his election campaign that his government has already spent billions of euros to keep energy costs within reach. He also offered employers a bonus of up to 6,000 euros to their employees. He wants to raise teachers' salaries and is ready to cancel TV license fees. Macron also called for increased security. He also claims that crime has decreased in the country during his time. Attacks have been on the rise in France for several years. As a result, the issue of security is very important to the voters.
