The Constitutional Council censorship lower employee contributions, a key measure of the Covenant of responsibility and solidarity. It considers that it violates the principle of equality before the law. A misstep in the form that feeds the trial government incompetence.
Socialists desperately seeking constitutional. While the Constitutional Council had already censured the 75% tax on salaries above € 1 million in its initial or various provisions (24 in total) of the 2014 budget draft, that’s only 6 August again, he recalls the government to order a device that serves as the foundation for his economic stimulus project: the famous Pact responsibility and solidarity, announced last January when his wishes by Hollande and presented in April by Manuel Valls became Prime Minister .The reduction of employee contributions promised by the government and part of the Amending Budget for Social Security, was dismissed Wednesday, August 6 by the Constitutional Council. This is in addition to the first section of the text. As if in the ministerial cabinets of the left, the experts prepare texts on which Parliament will legislate ignored the spirit of the Constitution, or wanted to overcome them. The penalty falls, inevitably, in a context where the parliamentary guerrilla is all the more intense it serves to mask the emptiness of the programs of the opposition.
The lower contributions wage censored
This is the “solidarity” of the pact in question that the Constitutional Council was seized on July 24 by 78 deputies of the Right, specifically the Finance Act Amending the component social security for 2014. Draft Government was to implement, effective January 1, 2015 a device for reducing employee contributions, declining to 1.3 times the minimum wage, to enable employees concerned to increase their net salary of about € 500 per year at the minimum wage.
But the Sages did not hear well. They actually followed the applicants who had stressed that “ the introduction of a graduated reduction in pay social security contributions is contrary to the distinction between social contributions and taxes of all Nature . “
They also found that “ reserving degressive reduction of social security contributions only to employees whose full-time equivalent salary is between 1 and 1.3 minimum wage, while these employees will continue to enjoy an unchanged level of social benefits, the law violates the principle of equality before the law . ” A principle that supports adaptations “ for reasons of public interest, provided that in either case, the difference in treatment resulting directly relevant to the purpose of the law establishes “…
The Council also retoqué part of Article 2 concerning the reduction of employer contributions for certain jobs at home.
A sacred misstep for a left government. Because through these expected expressed in language constitutionalist lawyer declaring inadmissible reduction of employee contributions, this is a measure to raise the purchasing power of the poorest households is censored. course The finance minister Michel Sapin, the Minister of Social Affairs Marisol Touraine and the Secretary of State for the Budget Christian Eckert responded immediately. Whereas the Council had approved, as the saying goes, “ most of the bill amending the financing of social security for 2014 .” They recalled the transition relief in labor costs of € 4.5 billion on salaries of between 1 and 1.6 times the minimum wage and a decrease of one billion euros of contributions of self-employed income modest.To complete its submission, the Ministers also took the opportunity to emphasize that the reduction of income tax for the benefit of low-income households was also validated, increasing by 1.2 billion euros in 2014 the purchasing power of these households. But censorship is stain.
The ABCs of equality
Car
like a bad student who rapped on the knuckles and must review its They also had to take note of censure by the Constitutional Council. And promising alternative measures of the same magnitude in the context of financial laws for 2015 to be discussed in the fall. As an assignment to catch up.
It is surprising that a government to be called to order on the principle of equality before the law, which is one of the foundations of the Republic . The problem lies in the form and an initial version according to this constitutional principle would have prevented Manuel Valls having to explain this censorship and come back in a few weeks with a new device that does not affect any tables of the law.Does there not among the political, economic and legal advisors of the Elysee Bercy and Matignon, experts versed in constitutional gymnastics able to detect the fault and around I need regular. Because it was obvious that the opposition engulf into the breach, adding to the complexity of the Covenant which is already widely, and a form of throwing discredit on the way to work the tinted government for some of amateurism.
