Question 17229 — pensions: general

Summary

Ms. Martine Froger draws the attention of the Minister of the Interior and Overseas Territories to the draft decree in preparation aimed at implementing article 24 of Law No. 2023-270 of April 14, 2023 on the corrective financing of social security for 2023 which grants, as part of national solidarity, the right to additional quarters of retirement to policyholders who have completed at least ten years of commitment, continuous or not, in the capacity of volunteer firefighter. The legislator's desire was to “enhance the commitment of firefighters for their retirement” and “to provide more incentive measures to motivate vocations”. To this end, the quarterly bonus should benefit all volunteer firefighters with 10 years of commitment, regardless of their professional situation and whether or not they are active. This bonus must not be limited to compensating for lack of quarters for volunteer firefighters with broken careers. However, the draft implementing decree, in its current wording, grants the benefit of this recognition measure (three quarters after ten years of commitment plus an additional quarter every five years) only to volunteer firefighters not benefiting from all the quarters of recognition. retirement contribution on their career (periods of inactivity or uncompensated unemployment for example). However, the vast majority of the 197,800 men and women engaged as volunteer firefighters combine this altruistic activity in the service of the public with a professional activity. Consequently, the number of actual beneficiaries of this improvement would be insignificant and this would go completely against the wishes of the parliamentarians to promote through this measure a society of work and commitment. As it stands, this draft decree would lead to a breakdown in equality between volunteer firefighters depending on whether or not they exercise a professional activity, regardless of their commitment to the protection of populations. Finally, it arouses a strong movement of disappointment and demotivation among volunteer firefighters, while On the contrary, this provision should constitute an opportunity to improve their loyalty and recognition. She therefore asks him if he intends to review the wording of this draft decree in order to respect the will of the legislator and the legitimate expectations of volunteer firefighters.
