[HIGHLIGHTS] Unemployment insurance: Attal defends a reform which “encourages activity” and tackles “the Mélenchon-Le Pen axis”

Gabriel Attal defends his plan to reform unemployment benefit. The Prime Minister does not call into question the model of support for job seekers.

Attal: “The more people you have working, the more revenue you have for our public policies” The government is looking for savings after the public deficit skidded to 5.5% of GDP in 2023, according to INSEE. Or 15.8 billion euros more than the government's forecasts, which excludes increasing taxes.
