The policy, as we all know, it is the communication and Emmanuel Macron is no lack of talent in the area. A little too well one might say on the subject of pensions after his televised performance on Thursday evening at the exit of the grand national debate. Because too wishing to make the com’, the president may get caught with your feet in the carpet, and his oratory might well in the end turn against him. The proof with the two true-false announcements regarding the pseudo-indexing of small pensions to inflation for 1 January next. Great art that no one could however compare it to the handling, not to say disinformation... Explanations.

That said specifically the president of the Republic during his press conference? "On the 1st of January next, I hope that we réindexions pensions of less than 2000 euros and that there is more under-indexation of any pension either from the year 2021", thus has guaranteed Emmanuel Macron, in her opening remarks that lasted about an hour. "I think that we need to rebuild this clarity, this clarity for our retirees," he immediately clarified. Whose deed, be it and it is there that the bat hurts. For two reasons.

First, there will be no re-indexing of small pensions next year, contrary to what was said by the president of the Republic. The reason for this? Simple. To re-index the pensions, even had it been the case that they have been previously under-indexed. However, it is not. If the government Philippe had provided in its draft law for the financing of the health clinic to 2019 sub-index all retirement pensions (that is to say, in reality do the upgrade by only 0.3% compared to inflation) for the years 2019 and 2020, the constitutional council was prevented in December last year, after the application of the socialist parliamentarians, censoring measure for the next year.

"on The 1st of January next, I hope that we réindexions pensions of less than 2000 euros and that there is more under-indexation of any pension either from the year 2021"

Emmanuel Macron, on April 25, 2019

Not that the sages of the rue Montpensier have been against the principle of under-indexation of pensions (they have, on the contrary endorsed on the bottom), but they considered, and rightly, that the measure with regard to 2020, it was "rider budget" and therefore had nothing to do in the draft budget of the Secu 2019. In other words, they have broken the layout for 2020, therefore making it void any désindexation for the next year. To be even more clear, so technically it is impossible to defeat a measure which, in reality, has never been promulgated by the head of State himself. In practice, the government of Philip is not going to re-index the small pensions to inflation on the 1st January in the PLFSS2020, as implied by the head of State, but sub-index again, in fact, only the pension in excess of 2000 euros per month. Which is not quite the same, to start with politically...

Secondly, Emmanuel Macron still plays the great lords by vowing that no pension will no longer be under-indexed "from 2021". The beautiful case! It is found that the original measure complained of (the under-indexation of all pensions in the PLFSS2019) had been taken to... two years only, 2019 and 2020, and therefore did not vocation -it is in any case what had been said by the government of Philippe at the time - to wear beyond.

the Results are, to be clear and perfectly readable to interested parties, the head of the State promises in the matter of something which has in reality never been intended to be, nor even voted. He assured, pretending to cancel a decision that was never anticipated or promulgated by his care. There is no doubt that the pensioners will appreciate to their just value these two concessions, the output of the great national debate of the head of State, which are, therefore, not really...
