Question 10985 — State civil service

Summary

Mr. Philippe Schreck draws the attention of the Minister of Transformation and the Public Service to the circular of July 25, 2023 relating to holiday vouchers for the benefit of State agents (NOR: TFPF2320616C) which “aims to refocus the benefit of the holiday voucher service only on active State agents”. Translation: civil and military retirees in the State will now be deprived of holiday vouchers. “ Offered by the ministry responsible for the civil service as part of its interministerial social action, the holiday voucher is a leisure and vacation assistance benefit. These titles allow you to smoothly finance your vacation, culture, leisure budget and a wide range of cultural and leisure activities. This benefit is based on the agent's savings, supplemented by a State contribution which can represent 10 to 30% of the amount saved (35% for those under 30)” according to the dedicated website where his ministry invites: “Active and retired from the State civil service, save a few months and benefit from a State bonus”. For many of these retirees who are already in a modest situation due to their pension level or widowhood, this decision will affect their budgetary balance. It will lead many of them to no longer take vacations or leisure time, no longer travel to join their families, no longer deprive themselves of cultural activities, no longer contribute to the tourism and leisure economy even though they thought they were enjoying a deserved retirement after years of service to the State and fellow citizens... A clear illustration of this "at the same time" so dear to President Macron, after having advocated the preservation of power of purchasing from the weakest - and in particular retirees to obtain their votes - this Government is thus stealthily taking back from them what it had granted them with great fanfare a year earlier with the revaluation of basic pensions. Certain decisions are all the more shocking because they affect the weakest of fellow citizens and are taken at the very moment when they will go unnoticed, in the heart of summer... In addition to the withdrawal of this circular, he therefore asks it to specify exhaustively the social and economic reasons which would justify the maintenance of such an unfair decision.
