Work more … without winning more? After the announcement of Prime Minister François Bayrou, who proposed the abolition of two vacations to save money, the government spokeswoman, Sophie Primas, explains this Wednesday, July 16 in BFMTV that the additional working time “will not be valued.”
“We work on average 100 hours less than the Germans,” said Sophie Primas, also saying that “those who work do not work enough.”
“We are asking for an effort of 0.5% of the working time. It is an effort, I recognize it, but what will allow to participate in the collective effort,” Sophie Primas also assured.
“French Growth of Asrgic”
According to the government spokesman, the working days that could replace the holidays will allow “feeding French growth and having tax revenues.”
In addition, the government spokesman has welcomed that “financial markets go to the budget architecture” presented by François Bayrou. She remarkably evokes the “need to start a recovery of our finances so as not to fall into a concept of dependence on financial markets.”
On Tuesday, François Bayrou announced the abolition of “Two Holidays”, for example, “May 8” and “Easter Monday”, one of the efforts to significantly make 43.8 billion euros in savings in 2026.
