“We have a hundred days of peace, unity, ambitions and actions in the service of France ahead of us”, promised Emmanuel Macron during his speech on April 17, which followed the enactment of a highly contested pension reform. By unveiling this three-month plan, the President of the Republic hoped to leave behind him several months of social protest.
On April 26, Elisabeth Borne detailed the roadmap of these “hundred days”, boasting of “concrete solutions” and “life-changing actions”. For the most part, as we wrote at the time, they were in fact already hired by the government.
The ambition of the president of a peaceful France was largely tarnished by the riots which followed the death of Nahel M., killed by a police officer on June 27, in Nanterre. If Mr. Macron finally no longer intends to speak to take stock on July 14, as he had nevertheless promised, the Elysée assured that he would speak well “in the next few days”.

EMPLOYMENT AND INDUSTRY
On full employment, “redouble our efforts to bring as many beneficiaries of the active solidarity income back to work”
“Work, full employment and reindustrialization are today the first concern of our compatriots”, estimated Elisabeth Borne during the presentation of the government’s roadmap for the hundred days. Already on April 17, Emmanuel Macron promised to “redouble our efforts to bring as many beneficiaries of the active solidarity income (RSA) back to work”. On June 7, a bill was presented to the Council of Ministers, with the objective of achieving an unemployment rate of 5% by 2027 (compared to 7.1% currently) by reforming the RSA and transforming the public employment service with the creation of France Travail. The text provides that RSA beneficiaries sign “a single commitment contract” with the obligation to perform activities related to a return to work or reintegration.
The Senate passed the bill on July 12, while toughening it. Originally, the government did not want to include in the bill a minimum number of hours of activities to be carried out for RSA recipients, to take into account the particular situations of each. The right-wing and center senators, in the majority at the Luxembourg Palace, have decided otherwise. “At least fifteen hours” activities (immersions, refresher courses, CV writing, etc.) will be necessary for the recipient of the RSA to fulfill their contract. In the event of a breach of these obligations, it will be possible to interrupt the payment of the RSA, to restore it retroactively (limited to three months) when the recipient resumes with his commitments.
