The candidate was the guest on Grand Enjeu on franceinfo. He returned to the raising of the minimum wage and said the increase should not stop at the SMIC.
This approach must, he said, be accompanied by measures for very small enterprises and SMEs facing the increase, as well as by a relocation of production.
He wants all wages to be indexed to inflation and to the SMIC, as part of a plan to revive activity through wages and consumption.
Today, he stressed, only the SMIC is indexed to inflation and rises on a regular basis. The social conference must not, in his view, be limited to discussing its increase in the public sector as well as in the private sector.
