Wishes to the President of the French Republic have been interpreted by many commentators as an important inflection of his policy. By proposing a pact liability companies , advocating cuts in public spending and taxes and denouncing abuse to social security , it would be converted to economic realism, the supply policy and social liberalism .
Some rejoice , others are worried.
If these cards are indeed a milestone in five years, as they announced an acceleration of the pace of economic and social changes , they do not score much for a shift in policy .
The policy provides ==>
Pact responsibility is in line with the competitiveness plan announced by the President at a press conference in November 2012 and implemented by the government of Jean -Marc Ayrault .
From its founding Lorient June 27, 2009 , where he exhibited for the first time the project in the context of the 2012 presidential election speech, he proposed to make "the choice of competitiveness ... France needs its business . this is the condition of its place in globalization and reduce unemployment . "
He was the first French socialist convert to supply-side policy .
Aware that membership in the euro zone can not devalue its currency to make the necessary adjustments competitive , he knows that the recovery of competitiveness implies to reduce imports , to restore the balance of our public accounts , which deteriorated significantly between 2001 and 2010 , and to increase our exports , reduce labor costs .
That is why he is committed to restoring the balance of public finances over the term of five years, balance established at European level equal to 0.5 % of GDP structural deficit. The adjustment made by François Hollande is already considerable , since the structural deficit , which was 5.1 % in 2011 is expected to decrease to 1.7% in 2014.
That is why it is also committed to reducing labor costs , by implementing the tax credit for Competitiveness and Employment ( CICE ) in 2012, and now proposing to lower the tax burden on labor.
The preservation of the social model
But for Francois Hollande , the competitive adjustment must be accompanied by preserving our social model. In this he acts differently Gerhard Schröder , who had created social instability by implementing the mini jobs . It is not socially liberal .
It has led pension reform preserving small pensions , allowing those who started work at 18 or 19 years to continue to retire at age 60 and taking better account of maternity leave and time part .
In his Lorient, he also completed the statement quoted above by a very important sentence: " But companies need their employees ..."
Consultation before any
The recovery of competitiveness can indeed take place if employees get their money . Hence the insistence of François Hollande to make our country a social democracy , and systematically promote cooperation .
Not only he is not wary of intermediate bodies , but , on the contrary, each realizes social reform after finding a prior agreement between the social partners , whether the creation of the generation contract , reform of the labor market or that of vocational training.
Hence also the need to always take into account the need for social justice as a prerequisite for acceptance of efforts required French , hence the will to fight the abuse of social security , whether from employers or insured .
Reforms left
The results are beginning to be felt : the curve of youth unemployment was reversed for nearly six months. That all categories of unemployment has sharply slowed its progress but needs a little more time than expected to reverse. Hence the decision to move to the next level.
The reforms will therefore accelerate, but let there be no mistake: this will be reforms left. François Hollande had he not already said way back in 2003 by naming the motion he had filed that year the Congress Socialist Party of Dijon, " The reformist left " ?
These reforms are essential for successful recovery of France , a task for which he was elected in 2012. Unlike declinists who have lost faith in France , François Hollande is indeed haunted by the recovery of our country. He defined the mission of the left in his speech Bourget: " What the left, otherwise the refusal of resignation, fatalism , discouragement ? "
Some rejoice , others are worried.
