LA TRINITÉ-SUR-MER, France It was the setting for a straightforward origin story, or so it seemed. Marine Le Pen, the far-right leader aiming to be France’s next president, came to launch her latest campaign in the seaside resort where her firebrand father once announced his own bid for the presidency from the family home.
Which brings us to today. This week, the European Commission unveiled plans to push its social policy agenda once again in a bid to reconnect with disheartened citizens and coax voters not to place their faith in the populist fringes of the political spectrum.
The European Pillar of Social Rights, presented on Wednesday by Employment Commissioner Marianne Thyssen, put forward 20 social principals it wants to see member states adopt. The most prominent include strengthening workers rights, revamping employment law by bringing the gig economy into national social systems and introducing new rules on parental leave.
Thyssen described the Pillar as a compass for a renewed process of convergence towards better living and working conditions that would help the EU avoid a race to the bottom and encourage a race to the top.
