Laurent Wauquiez, in the middle of the campaign for the presidency of the Les Républicins party, demands “to leave the RSA (active solidarity income, editor’s note) for life”, in an interview with El Parisino this Sunday, on May 11, while the result of the election between him to Bruno Retilleau, Interior Minister, is expected on May 18.
“I propose that we leave the RSA for life. The RSA, almost 2 million beneficiaries for 12 billion euros, must be a temporary help when we have had a life accident. It must be limited to two years for the French who can work,” he said.
“Today, almost 40% of RSA beneficiaries are under 35 years. Who can believe that everyone cannot work? We have referred to an assistance system,” he said.
“Revalue work”
“We cannot continue paying people to stay at home, when we have 500,000 vacancies in personal services, hotel and restaurant, help for home,” said Laurent Wauquiez.
The deputy of LR of Haute-Loire is supposed at the same time that “the generalization of real hours of work in exchange for the RSA” and “the fusion of all social assistance in a single help limited to 70% of the minimum wage.”
“The true social is to help people who really need it,” he said, asking “to update the job.”
New Retail Tackle
Only one week after the result of the presidency of LR, Laurent Wauquiez takes the opportunity to face his opponent Bruno Retailleau again.
“Having a president of the Republicans who at the same time is a member of a macronista government obviously leads to dilution in macronism and at the end of the right,” he said, pointing to the Interior Minister, which was largely given in a FFI survey dated April.
Laurent Wauquiez on the other hand defends a “clear rupture project with macronism” and says that it supports “the great concentration of the right”, going, according to him, “by Gérald Darmanin (Minister of Justice, Editor’s note) to Sarah Knafo (European Deputy of recognized, note of the editor)”.
The Party for the Presidency of the Republicans between Bruno Retilleau and Laurent Wauquiez practically tripled the number of members of the party, which increased to 121,617 voters. The vote for presidency LR will take place on May 17 and 18.
