He maintains the course on the bottom, but he dodges the questions on the form.
Suspected since the start of the school year in September of wanting to reform pensions by a simple amendment to the Social Security budget (PLFSS) this fall - even if it means having it adopted via article 49-3 -, Emmanuel Macron explained himself in part on BFMTV.
Thanks to an interview recorded on the night of Wednesday to Thursday - during the flight which brought him back from New York, where he attended the General Assembly of the United Nations -, the President of the Republic assured that he wanted to make the things "
in a transparent, clear, and as peaceful way as possible
".
“
I do not pre-empt what the government and Parliament will have to do
”, however added the Head of State, to maintain the vagueness on the method which will be retained by the executive.
"
The government must launch discussions with the social forces, the political forces, and find with the Parliament - it is its job - the right manoeuvre
", he indicated, while several executives of the majority have already made known their hostility to a "
forced passage
".
Thus François Bayrou, the boss of the MoDem, who encouraged his troops to vote against it if necessary, and Yaël Braun-Pivet, the president of the National Assembly, who said he was not "
favorable
" to it.
“Protect” and “defend the French social model and its future”
Based on the latest report from the Pensions Orientation Committee (COR) - which reports a "
deficit
" in funding for the current pay-as-you-go "
scheme
" in the short, medium and long term -, Emmanuel Macron considered that "
we cannot have a serious policy based on lies
".
“
I tell the truth to the French, I have always done so.
We are all jointly responsible.
It's easy to be on the balcony and say "spend more here!"
;
“spend more there!”... Who will pay?
“, he questioned, to attack the opposition.
And better insist on the need to "
have more people at work, who work longer
", to "
produce more wealth
".
An ambition which supposes, according to the President of the Republic, to lead several "
parallel
" battles head on, namely the reforms "
of the vocational high school, of apprenticeship, of unemployment insurance, (and) of vocational training
".
All, he says, to "
protect
" and "
defend the French social model and its future
".
The very one who made it possible to “
protect our compatriots and our businesses during the Covid and in this (inflationary) period
”.
The very one in whose name he also wishes to "
rebuild two major public services, the hospital and the school
", as well as "
security
" and "
climate transition
".
