“Everything that moves is imposed, what moves still regulates it and what does not move at all, we subsidize it. We are there,” said Bruno Retailleau this Thursday, August 28, taking Ronald Reagan’s words to seduce Medef members during a debate with the other party leaders.
“We can no longer live in a system that is in a state -based social system,” he said. To remedy this, the LR leader suggests reducing state spending by limiting the number of public officials.
The Vendéen also imagines a “zero load” threshold so that unprocessed wages approach the network. This system would provide “no salary contributions or contributions from the employer” beyond 1623 hours worked per year, that is, 16 hours more than the annual legal duration.
Bruno Retailleau, therefore, provides a renewed version of “working more to win more” by Nicolas Sarkozy, who had made tax exemption from one of the markers of his 2007 campaign.
A dose of capitalization
Responding to Jordan Bardella, who suggests the creation of a sovereign fund aimed at draining the savings of French volunteers to companies, the LR leader requested capitalization.
Bruno Retailleau admitted that the “transition” presented a “difficulty”, but did not explain how he intended to solve it, rather than Gabriel Attal, who also begged for this solution to increase investment in France.
Its financing is in fact a very thorny question. To maintain the level of pension of current retirees, the transition would imply a double payment of asset contributions (for their own retirement with the participation of capitalization and for the pensions of current retirees in the distribution system).
Otherwise, companies should probably increase or use public debt. Is there a miraculous solution? Bruno Retailleau said his party would quickly make proposals.
