The president of the Republicans Eric Ciotti pleads to go “much further” in the reduction of unemployment benefits to promote the return to employment, Friday in an interview with Les Echos.
It is possible to go much further in reducing unemployment benefits, which are an obvious obstacle to a return to full employment, says the boss of the right-wing party.
A reform of unemployment insurance comes into force in February has reduced by 25% the duration of compensation for new job seekers. For the year 2024, the government wishes to include the controversial issue of adjusting allowances according to the economic situation in the upcoming negotiations between the social partners.
Also save money on the RSA
For Mr. Ciotti, the government has taken a step in the right direction, but it must be continued. The deputy of the Alpes-Maritimes also pleads to make savings on the RSA, by imposing strong counterparties. In terms of savings, the effort must be made on social expenditure, which has gone from 12% of total expenditure in the 1960s to 34% today, when the sovereign has seen its share melt from 6 to 3%.
Asked about the risk of a motion of censure LR enters it on the budget or the public finance programming law, Mr. Ciotti assures us that he does not work by threat. But our proposals are responsible and reasonable, the government must integrate them, he adds.
The President (LR) of the Senate, Grard Larcher, recently warned the executive about the risk of accidents during the budget period, which he said could lead to government censorship.
Calling for a revolution of debureaucratization, Mr. Ciotti also believes that the subject of indebtedness which threatens to strangle our country is not taken seriously by Emmanuel Macron.
