Aurore Bergé, Minister of Solidarity and Families was the guest of the 8:30 a.m. franceinfoThursday August 24, 2023. Emmanuel Macron’s political return, heat wave in nursing homes, future of parental leave… She answers questions from Agathe Mahuet and Agathe Lambret.

Heat wave: “For the moment”, the situation is “under control in our nursing homes”

While the southern two-thirds of France are going through the peak of the heat wave, Aurore Bergé indicates that the situation is, “for the moment”, “controlled in our Ehpads”. For the minister, “vigilance is at home”. The Aging Well Act “is a priority”, assures Aurore Bergé. The examination of the text was to take place in April in the National Assembly before being postponed. The law “will be adopted, I hope, before the end of the year”concludes Aurore Bergé.

An early start to August 20 for some students is “desirable”

“We have children, especially young teenagers who, in June, July, August, find themselves a little abandoned”, believes Aurore Bergé. Like Emmanuel Macron, she finds “desirable” an early start to August 20 for some students and better use of the month of June for students who do not have an exam at the end of the school year. The Minister for Solidarity and Families sees it as a way to better support young people and “to manage to draw lines following the riots”during which “we have seen a disintegration of authority”.

Parental leave: “I want it to be in proportion to the salary”

Aurore Bergé pleads for parental leave “incentive”but also shorter and better paid. “I want it to be in proportion to the salary, I no longer want it to be a fixed scale at 429 euros”, she adds. Asked regarding childcare solutions to compensate for the possible reduction in the duration of parental leave, Aurore Bergé explained that the government had “committed to a public early childhood service and to 200,000 additional crèche places by 2030”.

Return to politics: the president “remains the best bulwark once morest the far right”

In an interview with the newspaper Le Point, Emmanuel Macron assures us that he will bring together “the political forces represented by our assemblies” And this, “from next week”. Which now includes La France insoumise and the National Rally. “It’s more effective to fight them by putting them in charge”, assures Aurore Bergé. The former president of the Renaissance group in the National Assembly believes that “Nicolas Sarkozy like Emmanuel Macron have never come to terms with the far right. The President of the Republic remains the best bulwark once morest the far right.”
