Question 14768 — social security

Summary

Mr. Hadrien Clouet draws the attention of the Minister of Culture to the non-compliance with the votes of the National Assembly in matters of social security for artist-authors. More than 350,000 artist-authors ensure French cultural production, mass aesthetic innovation and the daily intellectual emancipation of as many people as possible: photographers, composers, visual artists, translators, photographers, illustrators, etc. Gold the managing body AGESSA knowingly deprived an entire generation of their retirement pension rights, failing to call in contributions and despite a decade of warning. Also the Government had entrusted the management of rights to URSSAF. Improvised at the last minute, this transfer created chaos despite the goodwill and qualification of the agents involved. In conclusion, the National Assembly decided to return to the artist-authors the direct management of their social security system, through election. Like all workers, they are best qualified to manage their own social risks. Such a project received broad support in Parliament, both in committees and in the chamber, even adopted with 255 votes to 1 on December 5, 2025 in the National Assembly. However, in application of this vote, the intention of which is clear taking into account to the interventions of legislators in the hemicycle, the Ministry of Culture must issue an implementing decree. To everyone's amazement, the draft decree communicated on April 16, 2026 annuls the votes of parliamentarians. He unilaterally canceled the planned professional elections, refusing to prepare the required infrastructure (calendar, computerization, registers). It maintains the disputed structure, AGESSA, with the same responsible and, the height of irony, new prerogatives (obligatory consultation for any new public measure). So many measures taken in the absence of the unions, expelled from the consultation. He therefore asks it to respect the votes of the Assembly, the expectations of the sector and the compromises made. His decree must correspond to the almost unanimous vote of the Assembly, not to the wishes of hidden lobbies. For this, he asks what timetable it plans to organize professional elections before December 2026, when it will renew the approved governance actors on the State side and how it will repair the deprivations of rights inflicted by AGESSA.
