Question 21608 — pensions: general

Summary

Mr. Jean-Yves Bony draws the attention of the Minister of Action and Public Accounts to the decline in the purchasing power of retirees from crafts and local commerce. Their careers, although very long, often entitle them to low pensions. Thus, after 4 years of virtual freezing, they were not revalued in 2018 and barely in 2019 (+0.3%) while having to support an increase in CSG of 1.7 since 2018. % as soon as the retiree has income above 2,000 euros per month. The Government claimed in December 2018 to have understood that this requested effort was unfair and too burdensome. However, on April 25, 2019, retirees learned that the revaluation that awaited them in 2020 would be the strict minimum, namely compensation for inflation, and that some of them would even have to wait until 2021. Pensions are not, however, aid means-tested, but in return for many years of work and contributions. Another serious disappointment, the President of the Republic announced “a minimum contribution increased to 1000 euros, that is to say barely more than the maximum amount of ASPA (903 euros in 2020), the former old age minimum, which can be served even if one has been idle all his life. He therefore asks him to indicate to him the measures he intends take to reconsider the revaluation of pensions in 2020 without making a distinction between retirees, and by indexing their pension to the evolution of the average annual salary in order to allow them to assume the cost of possible dependency.
