FMP, Finance Bill — Paul Bérenger: “The pension will not be indexed to inflation”

For Paul Bérenger, the ball is now in the unions' court. Despite the short delay before the introduction and debates, with a certificate of urgency, on the Finance Bill, scheduled for this Tuesday, the trade union organizations are, he lets us understand, the best placed to be able to push the government to review the date of its introduction and its examination in Parliament. The Fron Militan Progresis, which faced the press after a meeting of the central committee in Rose-Hill, is of the opinion that it is not “normal and reasonable” that the Finance Bill, of 127 pages, as well as The Economic and Financial Measures Miscellaneous Provisions Bill, of approximately 119 pages, are presented for first, second and third readings, then put to a vote during a single session. And this, unlike the usual procedure, where parliamentarians have at least a week to study a bill.

If Paul Bérenger considers correct the government's decision not to have grouped all the measures in the Finance Bill to present a separate Economic Financial Measures Miscellaneous Provisions Bill, which concerns 58 different laws, his positive assessment stops there. “Li pa normal ki se o-milie lanwit ki zot met de lalwa lor website Lasanble (â¦) avek first and second reading mem zour. Li pa rezonab ditou!The 58 laws concern specialized sectors and all professions. We need time. Unions need time to consult and give their opinion. It’s unacceptable!”, he protests.

Concerning the pension, the Finance Bill maintains the retirement age and the pension payment age at 65, explains Paul Bérenger. However, he adds, the recommended “income support” mechanism has been “replaced by a lower pension, calculated according to a particularly complex formula.” He insists: “Yes Please give someone a chance to know how to handle their functions. Between the ages of 60 and 65, you will be able to get your full pension reduced by 0.5%. You can give it a try. Li bien konplike." And according to a crude calculation, he says, "Dimounn pou perdi omwin Rs 2,000 si zot pran pansion laz swasant-an." Paul Bérenger also explains that the mechanism called to replace the National Pension Fund has been dismissed See you later. A Pension Regulator will be set up to study the terms of this future system.

But the essential element to remember, affirms Paul Bérenger, remains the indexation of the pension, defended and publicly promised by the Minister of Social Security, Ashok Subron. However, according to him, the provisions of the Finance Bill indicate that this measure would not go in this direction. “Zot ti pran 4.5% kouma enn referans. Li totalman irealis! Currently, the inflation rate has exceeded 6%. Soubron was clear on this subject, he spoke of indexation. But here's what it is
