Renationalization of EDF, “urgency” of purchasing power, security. what to remember from elizabeth bourn’s general policy speech

Nearly two months after her appointment to Matignon and two days after the reshuffle, Elizabeth Bourne appeared on the floor of the National Assembly this Wednesday afternoon for her general policy speech. Ahead of the semi-terms with an unprecedented composition, where the executive has only a relative majority, the prime minister has passed his political baptism of fire. Delimiting, thus, the scope of discussions between the government and the opposition, which forced the legislators to hope that a minimum text would be adopted. His speech was ultimately not followed by a vote of confidence, which was in danger of being rejected. But a motion of no confidence was presented by Nuper. the latter, however, has no chance of acceptance, LR and RN have announced their intention to abstain.

Pensions. “We will have to gradually work a little longer.”

This is one of the most divisive topics. Touching on the highly sensitive issue of pension reform, Elizabeth Bourne made the first noise in the semi-circle. Despite the noise from the left and nationalist benches, the Prime Minister tried to explain his philosophy. “For the prosperity of our country and the stability of our payment system, to build a new social progress so that no pensioner with a full career has a pension of less than 1100 euros per month, a situation where the same job does not guarantee the same pension… Yes, we will have to gradually work a little longer“He said, however, that no bill is already on the table. And for good reason, he promised that text processing would be “carried out in consultation with social partners“, and”involving parliamentarians as soon as possible“.

Given that “teachers are the beating heart of the republic“Elizabeth Bourne thinks the government should”it is better to involve them in the transformation of the school“. Thus, the government undertakes to raise their wages and “build with them the evolution of their profession“. However, it wouldit is illusory to believe that the solutions will be identical everywhere“He warned the Prime Minister, saying that”.true equality means adapting our actions to local situations“.
