Question 10167 — pensions: general

Summary

Mr. Thierry Perez draws the attention of the Minister of State, Minister of the Interior, to the worrying situation regarding the retirement of volunteer firefighters. Representing nearly 80% of the operational workforce, these women and men ensure, in often dangerous conditions, the continuity of the public emergency service. Law No. 2021-1520 of November 25, 2021, known as the “Matras law”, introduced an increase in quarters of retreat intended to recognize the commitment of volunteer firefighters. However, in the absence of the necessary implementing decrees, this provision remains a dead letter. At the same time, the new loyalty and recognition benefit (NPFR), supposed to guarantee a right to retirement partly financed by the SDIS, would be the subject of a proposed budget reduction by the Ministry of the Interior. Such an orientation, motivated by savings considerations, would weaken the sustainability of volunteering. It would be seen as a lack of recognition by those who ensure the daily security of citizens, who are already insufficiently compensated. Without concrete improvement in their status, their retirement or their remuneration, there is a real risk of disaffection for volunteering, with the direct consequence of the inability to maintain a relief service effective throughout the national territory. Also, he asks him when the implementing decrees relating to the quarterly bonus provided for by the Matras law will be published. He would also like to know if the Government intends to abandon the planing of the NPFR in order to preserve the attractiveness of volunteering, and finally what measures it intends to take to concretely upgrade the material recognition of firefighters volunteers and their status.
