Benoit Hamon won France‘s Socialist Party primary by proposing a basic income for all, an idea that every opponent said is unrealistic and unaffordable but which appealed to Socialist voters who‘ve turned their back on party leaders.
The signature issue of the 49-year-old former education minister would mean the introduction of a 750-euros ($810) a month payment to all citizens.

Challenged by his opponents over its cost, he says a tax on industrial robots could help to pay for it.
