The response was not long in coming.
Companies being the first targets to increase their financial effort and limit the increase in the Navigo pass, the Medef had, as of Wednesday, expressed its concern at an “additional puncture of 300 million euros”, decided “without consultation”.
This Friday, Valérie Pécresse, the president of Île-de-France Mobilités and the region, took up her pen to reaffirm that refusing her proposals would be "a double moral and social fault on the part of the government and companies".
Addressing Daniel Weizmann, president of Medef IDF, she explains: "You forgot to specify that the amendment concerning the mobility payment (
that IDFM proposes, editor's note
) does not concern companies with fewer than 11 employees, nor those of the outer suburbs which do not have a transport network as extensive as that of Paris or the inner suburbs".
Without the help requested from the companies, she repeats that IDFM will be obliged to increase the Navigo pass “very strongly”.
"This increase in the Navigo pass, compensated up to 75% by employers, would hit all companies, regardless of their size or location".

The debate is just beginning, in a context of galloping inflation, to know who will have to put their hands in the wallet to avoid a Navigo at 100 euros per month.
Out of an annual budget of 10.6 billion euros, 750 million are missing according to President Valérie Pécresse (LR).
After five years of freezing, a revision of the Navigo tariff (75.20 euros per month) seems inevitable, certainly from January 1, 2023. The administrators of Île-de-France Mobilités (IDFM) are meeting this Monday to discuss the budgetary guidelines for the year 2023, and therefore, ways to find, to limit the bill.
