The government is attacking social fraud. While the Executive is working to find 43.8 billion euros in savings in 2026 to reduce the public deficit, Catherine Vautrin released the first proposals of his bill against social fraud, which is expected in Saturday’s fall. The damage amounts to “13 billion euros,” said the Minister of Labor, Health and Solidarity with the Parisian.
The welfare state “is important” and “we are all very attached to him,” reacted former European commissioner on Sunday night, Thierry Breton, at the BFMTV set. “Is that finally because it is very important, because we know that it is part of our collective DNA, some do not abuse it? Of course. Of course. Do you have to go accurately to chase them? Of course. Of course.
“But who pays?”
“Some use it (from the vital card, the editor’s note) as a credit card, where he can draw what he wants in the pharmacy,” but “it is not ‘open bar’, because behind you pay,” the former minister continued. “But who pays? We, and now, unfortunately of our children, because it is the debt that pays,” he questioned. According to Thierry Breton, Catherine Vautrin “is right to attack these questions, but we must address other much larger and more multiple questions.”
