PARIS — Emmanuel Macron's La République En Marche unveiled its European Parliament election program on Wednesday, becoming the last major French political party to do so.

Under the banner "Projet Renaissance," it features nine main proposals, including increased investment in environmental policy, imposing a tax on Big Tech across Europe, and moves toward a European army.

The program maintains the Macron tradition of borrowing ideas from the left and right, quoting Jacques Delors, the socialist former president of the European Commission, while calling for more border controls and reinforcing the repatriation of migrants.

Like Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally, its main rival in the upcoming election, Renaissance proposes giving more power to the European Parliament. Macron's party wants to empower it to propose new laws, however, unlike the National Rally, it does not want to scrap the European Commission.

Renaissance also suggests making European institutions more democratic and transparent by capping the number of MEP terms per person to three and giving European citizens the right to initiate laws through petitions that garner more than 1 million signatures.

Renaissance proposes advancing “toward the European army."

Nevertheless, and in line with the stance Macron has taken against populists and nationalists in Europe, his campaign proposes making access to European funds conditional on "the respect of rule of law," in what is a likely reference to Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

On defense, Renaissance proposes advancing “toward the European army," a topic that is far from having unanimous support in the EU. It adds that “every country must keep its national army and its capacity to launch military operations ... but we must progress toward a common intervention capacity."

Much of the rest of the proposals in the program have already been laid out in public by either Macron or his lead candidate Nathalie Loiseau. Suggestions like setting up a European climate bank, overhauling the Schengen zone, reinforcing Frontex (the EU's border and coast guard agency) and uniting around a European identity were first revealed in Macron's op-ed calling for a "European Renaissance" in April.

Macron made his first foray into the campaign Tuesday evening, when he attended a working dinner with Renaissance candidates and reminded them of the high stakes in the upcoming election. The list, under Loiseau's leadership, has been either stagnating or slightly falling in recent polls and she has had a hard time generating enthusiasm, with only 18 percent of respondents to an Elabe poll in April saying they have a positive view of her.

But En Marche officials maintain that French people only really start paying attention to the European election in the last three weeks of the campaign.

"I'm not sure that the French have been focused on the election, there was the great debate, the [Yellow Jacket] protests every Saturday," Loiseau told French radio Sunday, to justify the delay in revealing the election program.

Millions of printed programs will be sent out to voters Thursday, to coincide with Europe Day, according to a Renaissance campaign official.
