THE president of departmental council fromAisne,, Nicolas Fricoteauxmade the unilateral decision not to not apply L’increase 1.7 % of Active solidarity income (RSA) provided by the State for April 1, 2025.
The opposition to President Nicolas Fricoteaux therefore opposes his decision not to finance this increase to the CAF which will pay this increase. The communication of the departmental advisers Thierry Delerot, Brigitte Fournié-Turquin, Aurélien Gall, Mario Lirussi, Fabienne Marchionni and Caroline Varlet-Chénot therefore includes a political approximation: “After having threatened in November to no longer pay the RSA, after having announced in March a hardening of the sanctions against the beneficiaries, the departmental major arbitrarily the most precarious of a revaluation provided by the State to follow inflation. »»
