To decipher the subjects that were stirring the news, Pascal Praud was able to count on the presence of Charlotte d’Ornellas, Philippe Guibert, Joachim Le Floch-Imad, Vincent Hervouët and Gauthier Le Bret in Time for the pros Tuesday November 12, 2024 on CNews.
Tense exchange between Pascal Praud and Gauthier Le Bret on the subject of pensions
From the first minutes of his show, the host, who was affected by the disappearance of his father, made a point of discussing the increase in pensions announced by Laurent Wauquiez on 8 p.m. on TF1 the day before. “If you increase pensions by half of inflation on January 1, that is to say 0.9, or if you increase by full inflation on July 1, that is to say 1, 8… In short, if you increase by 1.8 for six months or by 0.9 for a year, it’s the same thing for retirees!he said to Gauthier Le Bret. What he reacted to: “I didn’t understand it like you did…”.
“Well eh… You increase inflation by half on January 1st when we were supposed to increase inflation on July 1st, so it’s the same thing! When we arrive in 2025, retirees will receive the same thing! They were to be increased by 1.8% for six months, do you follow me?replied, a bit annoyed, Pascal Praud before asking his columnist: “They should have been increased on July 1, yes or no?”.
He responded in the affirmative. “How much?”insisted the CNews host. He didn’t let him answer and blurted out: “1.8 was inflation!”. While a moment of uncertainty set in on the stage, Gauthier Le Bret appeared doubtful about Pascal Praud’s demonstration. “At the beginning, they were supposed to be increased on January 1st all!”he chanted.
You haven’t done advanced math, special math either…
The presenter, who was surprised by a last minute change, did not let it deter him. “Yes but there, if you make 0.9, they will be increased by half the inflation on January 1st! You haven’t done advanced math, special math either… I’m not very good, but I feel like it’s the same thing.”he said to the man who is married to a professor before qualifying: “But I could be wrong…”.
“At the beginning, they were all supposed to be increased before the government’s decision on January 1st. Finally, after the National Rally said: ‘It’s out of the question’. The government said: ‘We are going to increase small pensions on January 1st’. And then Laurent Wauquiez says that it’s still not enough So we’re going to raise everyone’s pensions on January 1st, but at half the inflation rate. I’m summarizing because I think people have completely lost us – will be increased again on July 1st”retorted Gauthier Le Bret. To which Pascal Praud commented: “Okay, I don’t understand anything…”.
