The idea of ​​a forced entry has been temporarily ruled out. Tuesday October 24, the government announced that it no longer intended, for the moment, to impose a financial contribution to Agirc-Arrco, the private supplementary pension fund co-managed by unions and employers. . But this threat, agitated for several weeks, is put aside on one condition: the employers’ and employees’ organizations will have to reopen discussions very soon, with the aim of making a gesture in favor of the distribution system – for example by co-financing the revaluation of small pensions. “We demand rapid and concrete progress on this point”declared Thomas Cazenave, the Minister for Public Accounts, at the opening of the debates in the National Assembly on the Social Security financing bill (PLFSS) for 2024.

The executive therefore favors appeasement in a matter which had earned it strong criticism. The social partners, supported by all the opposition political forces, denounced, in fact, its desire to proceed with a unilateral withdrawal of the resources of a system relating to paritarianism. Today, the prospect of « hold-up »through a measurement in the PLFSS, moves away. “At this stage, we will not table an amendment reducing the regime’s revenue”a promis M. Cazenave.

“We’re going step by step, with a new [séquence] of social dialogue »we emphasize in the entourage of the Prime Minister, Elisabeth Borne, insisting on the need “to continue constructive work” with unions and employers. Matignon wishes to maintain the breath of “co-construction”eight days after the social conference, during which several projects were launched with the aim of increasing remuneration and facilitating the career development of workers.

Improving small pensions

However, the power in place remains ” farm “ on its objectives. Thanks to the pension reform of April 14, the budgetary situation of Agirc-Arrco, already flourishing, will improve, to the tune of 400 million euros in 2024 and 3 billion by 2030, according to Matignon . Therefore, the government thinks it has a say in how this windfall should be used. The idea of ​​reinjecting it into “balancing” of the pension system had recently been defended by Olivier Dussopt, the Minister of Labor, and by Mr. Cazenave.
