The active solidarity income (RSA), “is a benefit paid against which duties are expected” on the part of the beneficiaries, said the minister during a trip to La- Plaine-Saint-Denis, near Paris. “The law is nationally defined and it is not possible to condition the payment of RSA to the exercise of such activity or volunteer,” she said. She added that the government would “look precisely” the resolution of the Departmental Assembly of the Upper Rhine. Billed as a first in France, the resolution passed by the County Council of Haut-Rhin plans to “condition the payment of RSA to 7 hours of volunteer associations service, local communities, nursing homes, public institutions “.
“If the Haut-Rhin department think being able to find seven hours of volunteering per week for 20,000 beneficiaries, maybe Can they find paid work,” quipped Marisol Touraine. Asked about the possibility that payments of the benefit of solidarity being interrupted for those who have not done volunteer work, Marisol Touraine insisted: “It’s impossible.”
The right ready to unsheathe a priority issue of constitutionality
Eric Straumann, MP Republicans and chairman of the department, said he was ready to file a QPC to ask if the current system of RSA is not in contradiction with Article 72 of the Constitution, “which stipulates the free administration of local authorities”, should the prefect attacked the decision before the administrative court.
At the national level, the measure is welcomed by right tenors. The president of the Christian Estrosi Paca region (Republicans) has held regular Sunday on France 3, to “give back to society” part of the aid received, “as you are not reinserted into employment “. Laurent Wauquiez, he boasted on Twitter a measure “that allows RSA beneficiaries (…) insertion through work, not handouts.” His comments expected from the President of the Regional Council of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, the first to have promoted the idea in 2011.
