Purchasing power: MPs vote to increase pensions and social benefits by 4%
The National Assembly voted almost unanimously last night to increase social benefits and retirement pensions by 4% during the first reading of the bill on purchasing power. In particular, this concerns, in addition to pensions, family allowances and social minima, such as the RSA, the Disabled Adult Allowance (AAH) and student grants based on social criteria.
This revaluation will take effect from July 1, 2022, retroactively, without waiting for the annual automatic revaluation date. The deconjugalization of the disabled adult allowance (AAH), a flagship measure of the purchasing power bill, was also adopted.
Sanitary bill: The Senate restores the possibility of controlling travelers
The ping-pong game continues. The Senate, dominated by the right, adopted in the night, in first reading, the health bill, after having restored a possibility of recourse to a health control of travelers, which had been removed by the National Assembly. Deputies and senators will try on Thursday to agree on a common version in a joint joint committee (CMP).
In the Senate version, in the event of the appearance of a new, particularly dangerous variant of Covid, the government could impose the presentation of a negative test on boarding. A second similar device could apply for trips to overseas communities “in the event of a risk of saturation” of their health system.
