Did you miss the news this morning? We have put together a summary to help you see things more clearly.
After the pension reform a year ago, the executive plans to tackle another particularly explosive social issue in 2024: unemployment insurance. Gabriel Attal announced Wednesday evening on TF1 that he had asked the “Minister of Labor to prepare new negotiations” with a view to “a real, more global reform of unemployment insurance”, evoking several possible avenues such as reducing the duration compensation “of several months”. He also mentioned two other “tracks”: namely touching on the minimum time that one must have worked to benefit from unemployment and the “level of unemployment compensation”. And the least we can say is that the social partners do not view these ideas favorably. The CGT thus described this announcement by the Prime Minister as “unacceptable” while the CFDT considered that this regime could not be a “budgetary adjustment variable”.
The mystery remains regarding Emile’s disappearance. While the boy has not been found since July 8, 2023, no leads have really emerged, no suspect has been placed in police custody. To try to move forward on this enigma, a “scenario” is organized this Thursday in Haut-Vernet, a small hamlet in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, where the child spent his vacation with his grandparents. The objective of this “transport to the scene”, according to the established expression, is to confront the elements of the investigation with reality.
The executive’s roadmap in favor of the ecological transition will be known this Thursday. Gabriel Attal and four other members of the government will in fact detail the State’s “ecological transformation” plan in Paris. Organized symbolically at the National Museum of Natural History, the event “will make it possible to take stock of the measures undertaken in terms of reducing energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions and to open up a period of broad discussion around commitments of the State’s ecological transformation plan”, according to the Ministry of Public Service. This plan sets a series of quantified objectives to be achieved by 2024 and 2027, the last year of Emmanuel Macron’s mandate. For example, the State wants to reduce its fuel consumption by 5% in 2024 (compared to 2022), and by 10% by 2027.
