“Rather than putting France back to work, Emmanuel Macron is putting it out of work,” declares LFI MP Aurélie Trouvé

Aurélie Trouvé, LFI MP, was the guest of “6:20 p.m. franceinfo” this Wednesday, March 27.

“Rather than putting France back to work, Emmanuel Macron puts it out of work“, declared, Wednesday March 27 on franceinfo, Aurélie Trouvé, LFI deputy for Seine-Saint-Denis and economist. A declaration which comes after the government seminar in Matignon this day devoted to work. At the end of this meeting, Gabriel Attal – expected at 8 p.m. on TF1 – reiterated the commitment ontotal” of his government for “the desicardization of the country” and the “return to work”.

For Aurélie Trouvé, “we can only agree” with the Prime Minister’s sentence which says that work must pay better than inactivity, “the problem is that the government has introduced minimum wage in France, that real wages have been falling for two years”. For the MP, the government “organized this decline and the fact that people no longer live with dignity from their work.”

Stop “always blaming the unemployed”

The elected official wants the executive to stop “always make the unemployed feel guilty because unemployment is not a choice”she assures. “Today, for every 14 unemployed, we have only one job available [donc] no, it’s not enough, as the president said, to cross the street to find a job.”

To get out of this situation, it is necessary, according to the MP, “raise wages again”. She recalls that La France insoumise is “for the indexation of salaries to inflation and the increase in the minimum wage”. Other solution, “really put France back to work and here we are for the State to guarantee employment to all the long-term unemployed. Finally, we are for restoring all the rights of the unemployed.”

Asked about the bonus-malus system wanted by the government to penalize companies which favor short contracts and separate themselves from seniors, Aurélie Trouvé replies that this measure is not enough since “companies are not changing their hiring practices in response to this bonus-malus reform”. According to her, aid to businesses “could for example be conditioned”. She explains : “Only companies that have virtuous hiring practices would receive this public aid”. Finally, she adds that it is also necessary “give back weight to employee unions in negotiations”.
