“Let’s stop this little stigmatizing music”, launches the Federation of Solidarity Actors

While the Minister of Public Accounts Gabriel Attal details in Le Parisien/Today in France his battle plan to fight against social fraud, Pascal Brice, president of the Federation of Solidarity Actors, calls on Tuesday May 30 on franceinfo the government to “stop this little stigmatizing music”. In particular, he judges “disturbing communication” carried out by the executive around this hunt for social fraud.

Ultra rich versus working poor

If he recognizes the need to “tackling all frauds”Pascal Brice deplores a difference in treatment between “the ultra rich and tax evasion and people who earn 500 euros a month”. He thus denounces the opposition made between “those who work and those who receive aid, forgetting in passing that most do [les deux] because they are working poor” Who “can no longer make ends meet”. The president of the Federation of Solidarity Actors also points the finger at the speeches insisting on the idea “that it is rather foreigners who defraud”.

Faced with inflation and the decline in purchasing power, Pascal Brice considers that two solutions are on the government’s table: “either take real measures to support the middle classes who are becoming precarious, by involving those who can pay; either stigmatize”. And for the president of the Federation of Solidarity Actors, the executive preferred the second option through this plan. However, this does not contribute, according to him to “solidarity, to public policies” and it does not make “not the credible state”. Pascal Brice would rather “Let’s focus on the essentials”and in particular on “organised, industrial fraud”.
