French Candidates Debate Programs to Business Lobby

The video discusses the economic programs of three French presidential candidates: Emmanuel Macron, Marine Le Pen, and Francois Fillon. Macron and Fillon propose similar tax cuts, but differ on labor policies. Le Pen's protectionist policies, including taxing foreign workers and leaving the EU, raise concerns among executives. Despite the risk of a Le Pen victory, many executives lack contingency plans.
