Guillaume Kasbarian challenged the idea that retirees acquired their rights through their contributions, arguing that these had financed their parents' pensions and that current contributions financed theirs. He noted that a worker contributed 15% in the 1970s, compared to 28% today. He also wrote that the deputies refused an indexation that was reassessed every year, while the debt, in his opinion, was exploding, and compared the pension system to a Ponzi scheme. #Retraites #Pensions #Économie (translated)

Guillaume Kasbarian wrote that the deputies had refused the day before to change the tax allowance for retirees and had opposed that day the de-indexing of pensions and social benefits. He indicated that he had proposed to end their automatic increase while the deficit, in his opinion, was exploding, but the deputies had rejected his proposal. He estimated that the workers, who paid contributions and taxes, as well as their children, to whom the debt would be left, would bear the cost. He deemed this position irresponsible and stated that the country was heading towards a deadlock. #Retraites #Députés #Politique (translated)

Cerfia indicated that the Val-d’Oise prefecture had initiated an administrative closure procedure against two shisha bars in Sannois (95) during the Manchester City-PSG match. According to the media, 2.4 kg of smuggled shisha tobacco had been seized at the Opso, in recidivism. It also reported the employment of an undeclared and undocumented worker, non-compliance with regulations applicable to establishments open to the public, the absence of a smoking room and license, as well as a failure to declare the video surveillance system. Cerfia added that the establishment was subject to a customs fine, social security contribution adjustment, and the seizure of tobacco. For the Boss, Cerfia reported a recurrence of the absence of a compliant smoking room and the initiation of an administrative closure procedure. #Chicha #Tabac #FermetureAdministrative (translated)

Guillaume Kasbarian proposed 250 billion euros in savings, stating that such cuts needed to be made everywhere to avoid a crisis. He estimated that this measure could make France a "tax haven" for workers due to a reduction in contributions and taxes, and criticized those who, in his view, wanted to protect their rents. https://t.co/JaitWUMe6B #Économie #France #Crise (translated)

Joan Larroumec stated that the French private pension system was also heavily in deficit, estimating its deficit at 77 billion euros. He argued that the public system's deficit reached 50 billion euros per year, masked in his view by accounting overcontributions, notably 82% for the state and 126% for the military. According to his calculations, the private system received 228 billion euros in contributions, against 300 billion euros in pensions paid, or 305 billion euros including management fees. He indicated that the gap was covered by subsidies, allocated taxes, and debt. He specifically cited 37 billion euros in levies related to the CSG and allocated taxes, 24 billion euros in reimbursements by the state for exemptions from charges, and 17 billion euros collected from family and unemployment funds. Larroumec estimated that the pay-as-you-go system should have been adjusted 25 years ago, either by lowering pensions or raising the retirement age, due to the aging population and the decrease in the number of active workers per retiree. He attributed the lack of reform to a lack of political will and opposition from the population, stating that the deficits had been financed through overcontributions in the public sector and by taxes, subsidies, and debt in the private sector. He also disputed the figures from the Retirement Orientation Council, which estimated the deficit at 5 billion euros. According to his calculations, 420 billion euros were spent each year on pensions, against 282 billion euros in contributions collected, leaving 137 billion euros to be found elsewhere in the economy. He suggested that political leaders were staying silent about the problem because retirees formed the largest electorate in France and that attempts at reform had cost some elected officials their jobs. #Retraites #France #Déficit (translated)

The ministry announced an initial official estimate of aid to companies, valued between 60 and 166 billion euros, a subject that reignites the debate on the budget, particularly regarding the exemptions from employer contributions. #AidesAuxEntreprises #Budget #Exonérations (translated)

Joan Larroumec stated that a report from the IGF revealed that social contributions charged to civil servants, which could reach 80% of their salary, inflated public budgets and, according to him, masked the pension deficit. He argued that this method also distorted international comparisons and hindered the measurement of the burden of civil servants' pensions, which could soon become the largest expense for the state. According to him, France ranked low in terms of sovereign expenditures because it devoted the majority of its resources to pensions. He added that he had created graphs to illustrate his point. #Retraites #Économie #France (translated)

Joan Larroumec believed that Jean-Luc Mélenchon's success with young people revealed their lack of future prospects. According to him, the current system favored older generations in accessing the best jobs and housing, while young people paid high retirement contributions without being able to hope for a comparable pension. He also stated that the level of taxation made it difficult to become wealthy through work and that inheritance inequalities perpetuated social status gaps. Larroumec said that the threat of artificial intelligence was a major concern neglected by politicians. He cited the United States, where, in his view, the employment of 22-25 year-olds in jobs exposed to AI was already about 19% below its trajectory. He predicted that companies would hire less and prioritize protecting their existing employees, often older, and questioned the future of highly educated young people without jobs. He added that young people were waiting for politicians to offer a vision of a desirable and fair life in France for the coming decades, as well as clear rules of the game. According to him, the old path of studying, finding a good job, buying an apartment, and advancing based on merit no longer existed, and no one on the political scene was living up to those expectations. #jeunesse #inégalités #avenir (translated)

There is a correlation between sick leaves and working conditions. To constrain companies, an "adaptation of employer contributions" could be implemented, namely "increasing contributions when there is no preventive work or even decreasing them in the opposite case," details Isabelle Mercier, national secretary of the CFDT. #SantéAuTravail #Prévention #ArrêtsMaladie (translated)

Antoine Copra wrote that one could mock student protests, but that the country spends five times more on pensions than on education. According to him, the ratio rises to seven times if one deducts the contributions, which would mask the true deficit of the system. He compared this figure to those of Sweden (2.8 times), Denmark (3.5 times), and the Netherlands (3.7 times). https://t.co/NQvnrI1mCD #Éducation #Retraites #Manifestations (translated)

Eric Klein wrote that in France, a person who has worked their entire life at the minimum wage would receive almost as much in retirement as someone who has never contributed. For example, he compared two people born on January 1, 1964: according to him, the one who would have worked their entire career at the minimum wage would have validated 170 quarters and could retire at full rate on October 1, 2026, at 62 years and 9 months, with a pension of about 1,246 euros per month. The person who has not contributed any quarters would receive, starting at 65 years old and under certain income conditions, 1,044 euros per month through the minimum old-age pension, he noted. Klein estimated that the gap of about 200 euros after a lifetime of work and contributions was scandalous. #Retraite #SMIC #Inégalités (translated)
