Nicolas Dupont-Aignan differs most from the other ten candidates on Europe, with an average gap of 2.33 points: he strongly agrees that French law should take precedence over European law and that France should leave the European Union, and strongly disagrees with the Union taking more decisions by majority, without a veto for each country. On leaving the Union, he is the only one of the eleven who agrees.
Next comes “Foreign affairs and defence” (1.88 points): he is the only one who strongly disagrees with continuing military aid to Ukraine; he strongly agrees with leaving NATO’s integrated military command, with compulsory national service and with increasing military spending, and strongly disagrees with offering to extend the French nuclear deterrent to European partners. The third theme is immigration (1.5 points), where he strongly agrees with a referendum on immigration and with abolishing birthright citizenship, agrees with suspending family reunification, and strongly disagrees with giving legal status to undocumented workers who have a job and with undocumented migrants keeping access to State medical aid (AME); on social housing and jobs going to French citizens first, his intermediate position is estimated for lack of a source.
He is closest to the rest on “Economy, taxes and debt” (0.45 points, his smallest gap): he agrees with bringing back a wealth tax and takes an intermediate position on a minimum tax on fortunes worth more than 100 million euros and on cutting public spending rather than raising taxes, as well as, estimated, on the number of public servants. Next come health (0.75 points) and “Work and cost of living” (0.82 points).
Of his 46 positions, 22 are in favour, 7 intermediate and 17 against; 23 are at the extremes (1 or 5) and 8, for lack of a source, are estimated. His highest match is with Marine Le Pen (86%), his lowest with Marine Tondelier (37%).
