Business support for extended apprenticeship contracts
Scheduled until June 30, aid for companies that sign apprenticeship contracts will be paid “at least until the end of the year”, announces Olivier Dussopt.
“Four years ago we were at 300,000 apprentices per year, we are at 700,000, the objective is one million.
Then it will depend on the finance law for 2023”.

On the timetable for reforms?
“There are pensions but there are also other subjects.
We can start in September or October” to discuss pension reform, announces Olivier Dussopt.

65 is not imperative, 64 is mechanical
“We said that we will do this reform through consultation, give us time”, insists the Minister of Labor Olivier Dussopt.
But the age of 65 no longer seems to be an imperative.
"We cannot promise people a retirement at 60 with 42 annual installments, that means that everyone would work well beyond that or be heavily discounted, and we cannot promise a reform that will cost 50 billion euros per year, "he said, scolding Jean-Luc Mélenchon in particular.
64 years, "it is an objective which is already contained in the texts mechanically by the lengthening of the duration of contributions".

But aren't pensions already indexed to inflation?
The pension deindexation policies implemented from the 1980s. Faced with rising inflation and the grumbling of the Yellow Vests, the government had put in place a differentiated system for pensions below 2000 euros gross were re-indexed to inflation, those above were revalued by 0.3%.

Pensions will be indexed to inflation in August
The indexation of pensions, "from the legislative elections, with the wish that there be a presidential majority, the National Assembly and the Senate will be seized of a text which relates to purchasing power and which will make it possible to index retirement pensions from the general scheme”.
“We are planning a payment on August 9 for pensions in July,” said Labor Minister Olivier Dussopt on RTL.

The State will help the most vulnerable in the face of inflation
“As long as there is inflation, we will have to be very vigilant on the public debt – the debt is the taxes of tomorrow – but also on basic necessities.
There is not a country in Europe that supports so much”, tries to reassure Olivia Grégoire.
Way of saying that only the most fragile, no doubt, will be really protected against the effects of inflation.

Companies are already ticking on the law on purchasing power
The bill on purchasing power is "a text which will carry financial measures and accompanying measures, it is a very large text, with the tripling of the Macron bonus, in particular", details Olivia Grégoire on France 2. Bruno Le Maire received the companies yesterday to talk about wages, and the meeting was not easy.
"He does not expect flowers to be thrown at him, sometimes it rubs it is normal", justifies the government spokesperson.

Olivia Grégoire on the Abad case
"I don't have to make a choice, the President of the Republic and the Prime Minister have made sexist and sexual violence a priority for this new mandate", explains Olivia Grégoire on France 2.
