[Analyse] À propos de la Sécurité sociale française. La Sécu est-elle toujours un [bien commun] ? | monitor | Ethique Publique (mai 2016) La Sécurité sociale fête ses 70 ans. D’aucuns n’oseraient évoquer la fin de cette institution tellement elle est inscrite dans le patrimoine de notre nation. La « Sécu » a atteint ce statut particulier de [bien commun], sans que débat il y ait ! Pourtant, c’est cette absence de débat sur ses fondements qui risque de mettre un terme à son devenir et à toutes formes de démocratie sociale. La Sécu est-elle toujours un [bien commun] ? Cette contribution pose les bases d’un débat qui n’a que trop attendu, livre un regard autodidacte, et suggère des liens entre maintien de la cohésion sociale et rénovation démocratique. À travers l’exploration de son histoire, du sens voulu par le Conseil national de la résistance, et des représentations actuelles, nous poserons les bases d’un plaidoyer pour sauver notre Sécurité sociale, un [commun] essentiel à notre cohésion sociale et à notre démocratie. |
