Faced with inflation, the government lifts the veil on Thursday on a series of long-awaited measures intended to protect the purchasing power of the French, and which will be seen as a passing exam for its relative majority in the Assembly in the face of opposition to the offensive.
After already more than 25 billion euros put on the table since autumn 2021 to mitigate in particular the rise in energy prices, the government will present in two texts (a draft amending budget and a purchasing power law ) a new burst of aid for a roughly equivalent amount.
Among the main measures are the early revaluations of 4% of retirement pensions and social benefits, the 3.5% increase in the salary of public officials, a food check of 100 euros, to which 50 euros per child will have to be added, the extension of the fuel discount from 15 to 18 cents and the tariff shield on energy, the abolition of the fee or even the tripling of the Macron bonus.
