Controversy in the Ile-de-France on the budget of schools – Le Figaro

Controversy in the Ile-de-France on the budget of schools – Le Figaro

The UMP Ile-de-France ensures that regional executive finance community life on the backs of students.

Jean-Paul Huchon, Socialist president of the Ile-de-France, he undresses the students to dress the associations? In any case the assertion of regional opposition, through the voice of Valerie Pécresse, president of the UMP group in Ile-de-France. According to the latter, the amount allocated per year per high school increased from 1,330 euros in 2008 to 875 euros in 2014 21 projects were boarding and delayed throughout the Ile-de-France, including five in the department deprived of Seine-Saint-Denis.

Three boarding promised in 2006 and designs have been delayed in Aulnay-sous-Bois, Noisy-le-Grand and Saint-Denis. Two internships were abandoned altogether, or 200 seats, in La Courneuve and Noisy-le-Sec. “The need for boarding is screaming throughout France, even in the Ile-de-France, the youngest and the most socially unequal region in education, we can not accept all these delays and projects announced in ghosts fanfare and never materialized, sorry Valérie Pécresse, especially as budgets in the region have increased by 80 million a year since 2010 “

Henriette Zoughebi, the vice-president responsible for the Left Front colleges in the Ile-de-France, recognizes a failure in the region. “It is not normal that we have so far behind. We just hit 40 million euros from the state to accelerate projects and create 3,000 seats boarding. “

It is indeed one of the prerogatives of the regions to support the maintenance, renovation and construction of schools and boarding schools. Staff canteens or responsible for cleaning is also used by the regional council. The UMP Ile-de-France also argues that as the budget for students decreases, one dedicated to associations swells. “Between 2006 and 2013, expenditures for high school students fell by almost € 140 million, says does one side of the UMP Ile-de-France, when the money spent on associations increased by 198 million euros. “” False “answers Henriette Zoughebi, denouncing the use of” fantasy figures “. Before admitting: “Of course, since 2006, investment declined somewhat. But between 1998 and 2005, we undertook massive renovations. Today we have other expenses, maintenance, canteen, etc., which are less expensive. What matters is not that we spend the most money as possible, but it meets the needs of students. “

The comparison between the budgets for schools and associations made by the UMP is not trivial. Jean-Paul Huchon has been repeatedly singled out for its management of community life. Between 1998 and 2012, the Ile-de-France has multiplied creations parastatal structures in the areas of environment, culture and economic action, etc. All have the status of associations. Are born and the Regional Tourism Committee, the Agency of green spaces, the regional development agency, Bruitparif, Naturparif …

In 2012, the press had poked his nose into the millefeuille. Some local actors including Valérie Pécresse, which at the time denounced the “mismanagement” of the management of Jean-Paul Huchon, suspected Executive of the region to distribute honorary positions. Le Canard chained had thus revealed the salary of the President of the Regional Tourism Committee (CRT), one of the many satellite organizations, not less than 12,000 euros net per month. Since then, however, the situation seemed to have improved slightly, according to Roger Karoutchi, Senator of Hauts-de-Seine and author of an internal audit on the subject. “The 2015 budget includes a decrease of 5 to 6% subsidies to these specific organisms.” Their endowment had however doubled between 2004 and 2012.
