Éléonore Simonet wants to reform pensions, lighten the burden and simplify life for the self-employed

12/02/2025
In brief

The Minister for the Self-Employed and SMEs has set three priorities: pensions, administrative simplification and lower burdens. The aim: to make life easier for the self-employed so they invest and hire more. She wants to provide concrete support to those who create and innovate.

Éléonore Simonet, our new federal Minister for the Middle Classes, the Self-Employed and SMEs, clearly set out her priorities during her first appearance on RTL.

She spoke in favour of the essential reforms for those who keep our economy running: a pension reform better suited to the self-employed, administrative simplification to ease their daily lives, and a reduction in tax burdens so they can invest and hire.

The self-employed and SMEs are the engine of our prosperity. They take risks, create jobs and actively contribute to the country's growth. Yet they are held back by complex rules and an overly heavy tax burden.

The minister intends to simplify life for workers and entrepreneurs. Alongside the MR, she embodies a government that supports those who create, innovate and grow our economy.
