Their vision
“The courage to protect and the pragmatism to act.”
President of the Hauts-de-France region and a figure of an openly social right, Xavier Bertrand embodies a different way of doing right-wing politics: less doctrinaire, closer to the ground. His project revolves around one conviction: protecting the middle and working classes without sacrificing economic discipline, and governing through pragmatism rather than ideology. A strategic state, stronger public services and real decentralisation as antidotes to the French people's distrust.
