the examination of the bill devoted to “ageing well” is postponed

This is a new setback for this text, the first reading of which was unsuccessful last April. The bill of the presidential majority devoted to the “aging well” has just been postponed Tuesday, July 18 and without date announced. It was on the agenda for the weekend at the National Assembly. This text aims to respond to the challenge of aging and spending in France. Among the measures taken by the Renaissance deputies: a “one-stop shop for autonomy” and a professional card for home help.

The opposition denounced a “empty shell”far from there “great law” expected in old age. Critics have even been heard from the presidential camp since the Renaissance deputy, Monique Iborra, has given up being the rapporteur for this text. “Reforms that will not address the substance but only the form, the symptom but not the disease”, had she denounced in April. “It’s not about reforms but [d’]an adaptation of what exists today and which is not satisfactory”. The former follower of the macronie called, in vain, for a reform on the rest to be borne and the establishment of a minimum quota of staff in nursing homes.

The Minister of Solidarity, Jean-Christophe Combe, had contributed to this bill from the Renaissance deputies. He has since been one of the ministers cited as potentially outgoing in the future government reshuffle. The July session will therefore end at the end of the week in the National Assembly, with the examination of the bill for the reconstruction of buildings degraded or destroyed during the urban riots, as well as that of the bill devoted to green industry. The deputies will resume their work the last week of September, during an extraordinary session, devoted to the public finance programming law.
