Éric Zemmour wants to “reserve” social minima for the French and “withdraw them from foreigners”

“We are taking purchasing power from the wrong end”, said the far-right polemicist Éric Zemmour, Monday, November 22 on franceinfo. According to the one who has not yet declared himself a presidential candidate, “the country has become impoverished because the country has deindustrialised”. Asked about his proposals to fight against this observation, Éric Zemmour proposed “to start reindustrialization” and “to reduce the burden of social protection” who “prevents paying high wages”.

For “do not reduce the social model of the French”, Eric Zemmour wishes “may national solidarity become national again”. “I propose that non-contributory social expenses, family allowances, housing allowances, minimum old age, RSA, be withdrawn from foreigners and be reserved for the French”, he says.

According to him, this represents “20 billion savings” which will allow “lower the CSG [contribution sociale généralisée] that pay employees who have a modest salary, minimum wage up to 2,000 euros, by increasing the CSG from 9% to 2.5% “. Éric Zemmour felt that this would “a salary increase of one minimum wage over the year”.
