For Olivier Faure, the bill on the purchasing power of the government is “not a text of protection, but of lesser loss”
Olivier Faure, the first secretary of the Socialist Party was the guest of “4 Truths” on France 2 this morning. He notably returned to the text presented by the government yesterday. “We could have had a text for gaining purchasing power or even preserving it and, in fact, we have a text which makes it possible to limit the loss of purchasing power. If you say to yourself “do you want nothing or a little more than nothing?”, I would tell you a little more than nothing”he argued.
“The reality is that the State has put 20 billion more on the table and, thanks to inflation, has just recovered 57 billion more. There is a problem, the account is not there. We will see what the nature of the debate is.he said regarding his vote on this bill.
“It is not a text of protection, but of lesser loss”he said, not judging him “not enough yet”. “What I am going to plead is that we be at least at the level of inflation (…) We are going to debate, for now, we are going to make sure that the government hears what the French are saying (…) The French want to be able to live with dignity from their work, it is not difficult to understand. we must increase salaries, and start with the minimum wage and bring it to 1,500 euros”did he declare.
Regarding the fuel allowance, which will come into effect in October. “it’s a lesser evil”estimated Mr. Faure. “It’s a measure that will allow people to lose a little less purchasing power. »
Regarding the deconjugalization of the disabled adult allowance (AAH), Olivier Faure said that he was going to vote for this text because it corresponds to a request from the left for several years.
Will all the socialist deputies vote for the motion of censure against the government? “Yes, all the socialist deputies will vote for the motion of censure. We are all in opposition to the government, which has not demonstrated its willingness to compromise”, according to the elected representative of Seine-et-Marne.
Regarding the possible exclusion of socialist dissidents, Mr. Faure clarified the position of the PS. “It was never on the table to exclude dissidents (…) Our bylaws say we can’t be a candidate against our candidates. There is a conflict commission, which is pluralistic. Everyone will have the opportunity to defend themselves and then there will be sanctions, which can range from a warning to exclusion, including temporary expulsion. There has never been a purge within the socialist party. It was never considered to exclude François Hollande “did he declare.
Will he be a candidate for his succession in the fall? ” We will seehe replied. I hope that the new generation that has gradually come into place takes its place and that the “elephants” give way to those who must support the left and the socialists in the first place. »
