Emmanuel Macron’s measure sows trouble in his own camp

The subject of the RSA has been invited into the presidential campaign since Emmanuel Macron made it one of the markers of his program. “We must be able to support each and everyone better, recognize their dignity and ask them to share in their duty“, he declared. The proposal of the Head of State? A counterpart of 15 to 20 hours of weekly activity. This measure angered left-wing parties such as unions, and challenged certain elected officials of the majority. “Indeed, it caused a certain number of questions, a certain confusion…“, recognizes Anne-Christine Lang, LREM deputy from Paris.

Was the president-candidate misunderstood? The word was given to all those who carry the voice of the president in the media: to present the measure on the RSA as a social progress. “It is absolutely necessary that we focus on more social measures that have gone completely unnoticed, for example, payment at source of benefits“, explains one of them.
