HAS At the start of the 2022 school year, the President of the Republic wanted to inaugurate a new form of public decision-making, by setting up a National Council for Refoundation (CNR), itself subdivided into as many thematic sections. A year and a reshuffle later, it is clear that the method and the announcements are far from re-enchanting the future, as well as building a desirable future.
Friday October 17, Aurore Bergé, Minister of Solidarity and Families, presented her “aging well” roadmap. After the abandonment in the countryside of the “autonomy” law promised during the first five-year term, the announcements of his predecessor, who thought that we could still act without the law, the start of the CNR “aging well” hit by a parliamentary initiative without great ambition, we were waiting impatiently!
The work of the famous CNR submitted in April is therefore very partially integrated six months later by Mme Berge in its roadmap and, unsurprisingly, the proposals resulting from our work are, particularly for the social bond and citizenship part, nowhere to be found. Instead, we are entitled to a catalog of measures that are often vague, poorly or not quantified, difficult to evaluate, mixing the durations of experimentation, piling up promises of job creation which everyone knows are not tenable, since not translated into finance bills.
Social isolation deserves breathing, conviction
The whole thing gives the illusion of interministerial work reduced to the provision by each technical advisor of measures – for the most part already existing – filling a catalog without much design. Old people deserve better! Better than a pile of scoops, better than this continuous belittling, better than the invisibility that is promised to them, as if they only existed to be relieved.
Why ask us to dialogue, to build together and to work on proposals so that none can exist politically? Where are the proposals aimed at better representing older French people? Or those aimed at better integrating them into the job market or even promoting their skills?
Social isolation, the central fight of the Little Brothers of the Poor, is referred to the pious wish of “become a priority policy” ; This has been the case for years, despite the obvious link between the suffering and pathologies that isolation generates and the costs that add up to treat them. Certainly, the subject is not very legislative and not very regulatory, but it deserves inspiration, conviction, incarnation.
