A “political fraud”. This is how Jean-Philippe Tanguy describes the minimum pension of 1,200 euros, included in the government reform, at the BFMTV-RMC microphone this Tuesday.
“These 1,200 euros don’t exist”, lashes out the deputy of the National Association (RN) of the Somme. If many had understood that all retirees would receive at least this amount for an increase of 100 euros, specialists, including the economist Michaël Zemmour in particular, stated that this would not be the case.
“Average increase of 33 euros”
Specifically, only people with a full-time professional career and who have received the Smic throughout their professional life will be affected by this measure. The almost two million retirees, therefore, will not all receive 100 gross euros more in their monthly pension. Away from.
“In the increase in the impact of the government, it is an average increase of 33 euros”, underlines Jean-Philippe Tanguy, castigating Olivier Véran who “had said that it would be 100 euros on average”. A reference to the statements of the government spokesman on franceinfo dating from January 11.
“LRs need to wake up”
Jean-Philippe Tanguy takes advantage of the government’s difficulties to put pressure on Les Républicains. This group is the only possible ally in the pension reform for the presidential field that is in a relative majority position in the National Assembly.
“The LRs have to wake up, when they were cheated out of 1,200 euros”, declares Jean-Philippe Tanguy, recalling that this revaluation of pensions was a sine qua non condition for the right to vote for the text.
“If they continue to support this law, when they themselves have been cheated out of 1,200 euros, they will participate in a ‘political scam'”, slides Jean-Philippe Tanguy. A way of throwing a new stone in the garden of the right-wing deputies who up to now have been divided between those who want to vote for the reform and those who are opposed, as it is, to the government project.
