On solidarity policies, Emmanuel Macron does not seem insensitive to a dear idea to the right: condition the payment of the active solidarity income (RSA) to the exercise of an activity. This is what statements made by Gabriel Attal, Tuesday, March 15th. Guest of the issue “The 4 truths” on France 2, however, the spokesman of the Government, however, abstained from delivering details, explaining that the President of the Republic would rise the veil on his intentions on Thursday, presenting his program for the presidential ballot.
m. Attal intervened on the subject to respond to a remark that the head of state would be inspired by measures defended by Valérie Pécresse, including the one on the RSA. The LR candidate at the Elysée wants the beneficiaries of this social minimum give “every week fifteen hours of activity to society”. Does Mr. Macron also want to engage in such a way? “There is a logic wearing that is (…) that duties open up the rights and not the opposite,” said the spokesperson of the government, citing as an example the young engagement contract. Launched in early March, this system offers reinforced support for 16-25 years old who are struggling to fit. It also allows them to receive an allowance, provided after following the proposed “course”, in the form of fifteen to twenty hours per week of various occupations (training, tasks of general interest, work situation …). “Obviously, for the RSA, it is a logic that could follow,” said Mr. Attal.
“shocking and unacceptable”
This rhetoric brings leaders of combinations against exclusion. It is part of a philosophy of suggesting that the aid are brought “to the good poor who fulfill their homework”, entrusts Marie-Aleth Grard, President of ATD Fourth World. It’s “very shocking” and “unacceptable”, “she pursues, because such a speech” stigmatize “the audiences concerned in the underwriter that they seek to” take advantage of the system “while the overwhelming majority” wishes to find a job “. “It’s a way to divide a little more society,” considers me me grard.
General delegate of the Foundation Abbé Pierre, Christophe Robert wonders: Do Mr. Attal’s words are an “ad effect to reassure” all those who, in the population, think that the State -Providence would be too generous and not demanding enough? If the debate was organized in this direction, it would be regrettable, in the eyes of Mr. Robert: the good question to raise, according to him, is in the “means devoted to the accompaniment” so that the beneficiaries come out of the RSA and Surge with a path in the world of work. The credits provided for this purpose had been considerably reduced until a recent period. As a result, at the end of 2019, 36% of those who received the service in this system for more than five years, according to a report of the Court of Auditors. “We have to have clarifications on this aspect of the file,” says Robert.
