In the Assembly, about sixty deputies, mainly from the opposition but also some members of the majority, gave their support to a draft LR law aimed at creating a “student meal ticket”.
LR deputy Anne-Laure Blin, who tabled this bill on Tuesday, considers that "meals at one euro" launched by the executive in U restaurants "will only have time" and do not "solve the problem. totality of problems ”during the health crisis.
She pleads for "a system which allows all students to eat at a social rate, whatever their status, every day and all year round".
One euro meal and psy checks
Its text calls for the creation of student meal vouchers, on the model of the employee restaurant voucher, worth 6.60 euros, half of which is paid for by the State.

Emmanuel Macron had promised on January 21 two meals a day at one euro per meal in the U restaurants, which currently remain open with take-out meals.
Since the start of the September school year, the Crous had set up one meal per day at one euro (against 3.30 euros normally) but for scholarship holders only.
