The deputy Insoumis and Bruno Bonnell gave the conclusions of their fact-finding missions around the recognition of caregivers and "jobs of the link".


" It is quite unique to see a joint bill with François Ruffin, " exclaims Macronist MP Bruno Bonnell. It must be said that their collaboration is unexpected to say the least. For eight months, François Ruffin, deputy Insoumis (LFI) of the Somme, and Bruno Bonnell, deputy La République en Marche (LREM) of the Rhône, have been working on a fact-finding mission around the " jobs of the link ". Before the National Assembly, under the sun of the Place du Palais-Bourbon, the two colleagues - usually opposed in the hemicycle - presented this Tuesday the conclusions of their work to journalists, before renewing the exercise in Economic Affairs Committee Wednesday.

Home help, childminder, extracurricular animator ... Accompanied by 9 professional women in personal assistance, the two deputies took turns explaining the reasons for their engagement and the importance of these trades " not enough recognized " " I was committed to doing work on this during my campaign to become a deputy, " started François Ruffin. " These women are heroines, " he said. And the deputy for the Somme underlines their gender: “ It is essentially women who exercise these trades. It is a very massive phenomenon ”. For the Insoumis, “ structuring these professions ” therefore comes under a “ feminist, social and ecologicalstruggle .

" I say it in fewer ways than François Ruffin, " agreed Bruno Bonnell. But for these women and men, “ we need a real training and recognition policy. The report should lead to a common bill which aims to create a " break in the perception of these jobs ". " We need to be able to live from our work, " says a caregiver. Paid " 800-900 euros " per month for days from " 8h to 20h " without real cuts, they would like, more than an increase in their salary, the recognition of " a national status ". " We are the forgotten Covid, the invisible, " they lament.

Divergence of vision, agreement on substance

François Ruffin and Bruno Bonnell therefore both see the need to create " a national framework " for these professions, even if, on form, their two visions diverge. When Ruffin wanted a “ national public service ” of these trades, close to the civil service, Bonnell would rather prefer a logic of “ companies with public service missions ”. A framework that is all the more necessary in the future, the two parliamentarians anticipate strong growth in these professions, and therefore a source of jobs. " My difference with Bruno is that I do not believe that this project will emerge during the Macron era ," said François Ruffin. " Our collaboration is common sense, " insists Bruno Bonnell. " We meet in the fall after the social security financing plan ," says François Ruffin, skeptical. " But if it is not done tomorrow, it will be done the day after tomorrow, " he agrees.

As a reminder, in January 2019, Bruno Bonnell declared to Liberation that he " wanted to prick ideas at La France Insoumise " . " Some are very good, like the measures on the ecology and economy of the sea. It is their execution which is bad. The door is therefore wide open. Please note: egomaniacs who use human misery to extol their movement, like François Ruffin, is no. But people like Alexis Corbière, yes, ”he said. He has obviously changed his mind.
