The Renaissance deputy Marc Ferracci has been appointed co-rapporteur of the bill “for full employment”, one of the objectives of which is to reorganize Pôle emploi, which must become “France Travail” in order to better coordinate the actors of the service. employment audience.

In an article published on July 11, the media Blast affirmed that this development would “personally benefit Pierre Ferracci”, father of Marc Ferracci and head of the powerful advisory group to works councils Secafi Alpha, as well as the deputy Renaissance, who holds 35% of the shares of the holding of his father, which he rejects. The online media reports a significant conflict of interest. Blast reports that the father of the elected official, Pierre Ferracci, heads the Alpha group, a powerful audit and consulting group that has indirectly become one of the main subcontractors of Pôle emploi. However, “the transformation of the public agency in France Travail suggests a very strong growth in the activity of subcontractors”, wrote the author of the article.

“Defamation” complaint against Blast

This Monday, July 17, his lawyer denies these accusations and announced in a press release, shared on Twitter by Marc Ferracci that these accusations have “caused considerable harm to Marc Ferracci, undermining his probity and his honor”. The latter adds that the Alpha group “does not reclassify the unemployed, neither by itself, nor through” a partnership structure, indicates the deputy, citing the partnership agreement in question.

Following this publication targeting him, Marc Ferracci mandated his lawyer to file a complaint “in the coming days”, and “reserves the possibility of doing so against all those, politicians, citizens or media, who have relayed Blast’s accusations, or would do so in the future”.

In a separate press release, the Alpha group also announced that it had “decided to take legal action against the people behind these attacks, which are thus damaging its reputation and its economic activity”.

Socialists and previously Marc Ferracci himself, had seized the ethics officer of the National Assembly last week about a risk of conflict of interest. Saying he was “particularly sensitive” to this question, Marc Ferracci had already planned not to intervene on the part of the bill devoted to France Travail, but on that dedicated to the rights and duties of job seekers.
