While the executive announces a tightening of the conditions for granting unemployment insurance, government spokesman Olivier Véran has made statements that the unions define as unacceptable.
From 1is February, the conditions for granting unemployment insurance will be tightened with a 25% reduction in the duration of the benefit for all jobseekers.
A guest on CNews this Tuesday, November 22, government spokesman Olivier Véran said “in the period we know, it takes eighteen months to find a job”. Olivier Véran then added: “What we want is to tell people: the spirit of unemployment insurance is the spirit of the National Council of the Resistance. “He went even further because for him the “logic” of the current reform is “guided” by that of the time.
This announcement rioted the unions who deemed it “unacceptable”.

Olivier Véran then made a point of clarifying his thoughts: “The state has said that there will be periods during which people will not be able to find work because the labor market will be too tight, so they will have to be insured so as not to lose all their income And to add as proof: “It is normal that when the risk is high, the insurance is strong and when the risk is low, the insurance is a little less strong. »
