"Whatever the cost" is "not sustainable", warned former Prime Minister Édouard Philippe in remarks reported by Le Point, where he judges that we cannot "buy social peace by making checks" and that there are "a thousand things much more important" than pension reform.
“I looked at the list of checks… It's scary.
We will have to stop doing it, ”judges the former Prime Minister of Emmanuel Macron (2017-2020).
“The
whatever it
takes was needed during the lockdown, but it's not sustainable.
Buying social peace by writing checks seems to me to be inefficient in the short term and dangerous in the long term, ”continues the mayor of Le Havre.
Edouard Philippe will support pensions
"From the point of view of the nation, between checks for almost anything and the concentration of our means on our strategic objectives, I would prefer the second option", insists Édouard Philippe.
Although he supports the pension reform, he nevertheless considers that "there are a thousand much more important things to do, which would deserve at least as long a time for debate and such sustained intellectual and political involvement" and addresses, in addition to the public finances, the themes of housing and immigration.
The former Prime Minister founded, at the end of 2021, the Horizons party, which claims 20,000 members and contributes to the presidential majority of Emmanuel Macron.
