“Old people deserve better than a pile of scoops”

A At the start of the 2022 school year, the President of the Republic wanted to inaugurate a new form of public decision-making by setting up a National Council for Refoundation (CNR) itself subdivided into as many thematic councils, including a CNR “Aging Well ». A year and a reshuffle later, it is clear that the method and the announcements are far from re-enchanting the future as well as building a desirable future.

On November 17, Aurore Bergé, Minister of Solidarity and Families, presented her “old age” roadmap. These announcements come following several disillusionments for the sector: the abandonment in the countryside of the great “autonomy law” promised during Macron’s first five-year term, a difficult start for the CNR “Aging well” in October 2022, hit by the timid proposed law known as “age well” supported by two Renaissance elected officials – who has also been back on the benches of the National Assembly since November 20. Indeed, the announcements were expected.

The work of the famous CNR submitted in April 2023 is thus very partially taken into account, with a six-month delay, by Aurore Bergé and, unsurprisingly, the proposals resulting from our work are, particularly for the social bond and citizenship part, nowhere to be found. Instead, we are entitled to a catalog of measures that are often vague, poorly or not quantified, difficult to evaluate, mixing experimentation durations, piling up promises of job creation which everyone knows are not tenable since they have not been translated. in finance bills.

Social isolation deserves breathing, conviction

The whole thing gives the impression of interministerial work reduced to the provision by each technical advisor of measures – for the most part already existing – filling a catalog without much design.

Old people deserve better! Better than a pile of scoops, better than this continuous belittling, better than the invisibility that is promised to them, as if they only existed to be relieved. Why ask us to dialogue, to build together and to work on proposals so that none can be politically relayed and take shape? Where are, for example, the proposals aimed at better representing older French people? Or those aimed at better integrating them into the job market, or even promoting their skills?

Social isolation, the central fight of the Little Brothers of the Poor, is referred to the pious wish of “become a priority policy” ; This has been the case for years, despite the obvious link between the suffering and pathologies that isolation generates and the costs that add up to treat them. Certainly, the subject does not lend itself well to legislative and regulatory registers but it deserves inspiration, conviction, incarnation.
